Well the title says it all, my fleets are guarding my systems all day everyday, 24/7. 

I think its kind of unfair for the poor lads to be reported as idle in the eyes of the almighty emperor :)

Great game so far !

Cheers!

Still on the guard issue, could it be possible to let your fleets stay on guard after an engagement?
Right now, I have to manually reassign the poor lads to their guard duty after battle. 

This results in sneaky fleets passing the emperors impermeable defenses.

If you set your fleets to sleep while guarding they wont be regarded as idle. So if they are sleeping on guard duty they are regarded as doing there job by the almighty emporer :D

Hmm, sounds legit! I'll give it a try before the new update is rolling out, thanks :)

Does not really work as the ship stops guarding the next round and just sleeps.

Confirmed. After a (logically) won battle, fleets are unassigned of guarding action. If not carefull, they let ennemy fleets pass like a charm.

Another idea for the developpers : when at war with a faction, this guard action could be automatic --> not automatic fight (which we could lose if guarding fleet is not powerfull enough) but just the "hey stay here for one turn will you?" effect
