can you intercept a fleet before it reaches the traget? What if you sent a fleet to the mid way point inbtween planets _________________ A warrior from an spactrace from not tooo long ago |

No way to intercept a fleet during travel. |

Wouldnt it be cool if this WAS added?
A button next to every fleet on sensors that says "Intercept"
Then your fleet runs after fleet, and when it catches up with it, it attacks the fleet.
I wonder if this programmable, of so, then I think it would be really cool to add! What do you think? _________________ Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.

just wanna post here to make this topic active again so that we can discuss wether or not Intercepting fleets can/should be implemented into the game. _________________ Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.

It'd be good for defending, but offence would become a living hell. How can you attack a base if half the alliance comes in and eats you up before you ever even get there? _________________ Join the army, meet interesting people, kill them.

At one point i was very eager to see something like this, i even thought of making a ship that when within a specified range of the enemy fleet (like 3 sectors...) it could bring the enemy fleet to a stop and fight it. with its own fleets.. but the idea was a lil too hard to put into action ... or so i thought.
it be cool

it would make tactics interesting, people would have to think alot harder about how to attack planets...
hmmmmm...
but i think it would be good...
i say yes to proposition intercept!! _________________ chuck norris would Totaly Own this galaxy! |

I have to agree with Wylyn here, it wouldn't be such a good idea, it would be too easy for example if you have caught a flag of someone and you fedend with 10 fleets your base and you see an incoming, you let one of your mates fly in and destroy the dude.... no thanks, where's the fun like we had in TO then Methi?? would you like it if we had attacked you back in in outa space and kicked your butt before you could come in?? i don't think so actually |

You make a very interesting point Darthmother. A pointwhich has changed my opinion.
However, MightyGod's post also has potential. What if you could only intercept with a certain mothership. _________________ Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.

think it only can be implemented with the change that only you can intercept if you are at your base, and only with 1 fleet, not send for example 3 motherships. It would make the game quite a bit more challenging, you always wonder: is the enemy paying attention, does he use dsp's etc.... |

i suppose a building which forces fleets within 3 sectors of ur base to change course to ur base could be programmable, make the building a bit expensive, and then make a counter ship maybe... _________________ STFU N00B!!!!111!1!

Fleets in warp space are technically not in real space time, so there is no way they should be able to fight. _________________ Space Mercenaries Inc.

spyder m8... the idea is a ship that would take the enemy fleet out of the warp space and bring it to normal space for a beatin... my idea anyway _________________
