I was just joking in my post. Of course we don't need all those changes in the ships! (Although the offline counter attack idea is worth mulling over). I think Smasher was correct when he said the IC on the ship should hold a ship after it has attacked defensive figs in a sector. That's the way it was before, and something was done to change it.
I love this game just the way it is, yet, it occurs to me that many changes have been made to it since I started playing it, and it's strange that someone might now take the stance "quit trying to turn the game into a full blown video game." I just think it's odd, is all, considering all the sweeping changes that have already been made to it. Where was this argument earlier when all the changes were being made, and what's one more change anyway?
Quasars on the ship is silly.
Ships needing ore for IC is silly.
Ships being able to retreat off an IC simply because there are fighters there is silly.
Of course, you are free to disagree, of course, and I won't attack you, insult you, or say "oh, you just don't love or understand the game," or some such nonsense, (especially since this is not the smack talk forums).
The point of this discussion, I believe, from reading the first post in this string, is that something happened to the IC ship over the years and it no longer works the way it used to.
If this change was deliberate, then, let whoever made the change simply say so and we will all move on to a different topic
If it was accidental, then I hope it is corrected. It's such a small thing, though, I doubt it will be changed, but we'll see.
I enjoy these discussions immensely, and I hope I don't get banned again for posting in this topic. Most people think I'm always smack talking, but I'm not, I'm just opinionated is all.
