"Farm him" lul never heard it put that way. The dude is getting payed back. I think the battle system is just fine. I know there are a bunch of people who want me dead because I always kill em O_o. But at the same time a guy I used to kill all the time who was like level 75 just added me to friends because he didn't want to die anymore. Good times.

Hello.

I thought the current battle for ship vs ship and ship vs planet is rather silly and weights too much in offender's favor..

Under current combat system, offender can attack to damage the ship or planet THEN back out just to repair his ship and repeat.. Then repair again then win while defender had NO chance to repair his ship or planet while offline..

What I propose to upgrade the battle system to re-equalize the playing field:

Give defender automatic repair on hull of the ship or population of the planet back to FULL for free for every repair that attacker made on themselves..

That mechanics ensures that weaker attacker will never disable ship or invade planet because every time he repairs, it's back to square one to start again as supposed to.. Only stronger attacker who never needed to repair all way to the end of the battle should win as supposed to..

Bottomline, everytime attacker press repair, it sends auto-repair to defender as well. I think that's fair..

Thanks..

I think the best way is that when anyone repairs from the ship tab, they get an effect "Weapons recharging" for 30 minutes. This will turn to 'Weapons overload" (-50% attack,30 minutes) if the said ship attacks anyone. Also, perhaps make the ship non-attackable for the first 30 minutes assuming the repaired ship did not attack anyone.

2) and 3) won't help. Most of the artifacts are 2hrs. So, the attacker just has to hit once, then 2 hours later finish the kill easily

Also, implementing 1,2 or 3 would result in a major overhaul. It will take up too much time to implement them.
