When a battle completes in the first or second phases, how about exiting the battle running repair on the incomplete phases?

Unlimited Missiles? Anyone suggest making missiles require storage/replenishment and launch tubes?

Nano-Repair Systems - it will be played even if you win, effectively giving your fleet a free repair.

If you're lucky. If the battle ends before the 2nd phase is reached, the cards for the 2nd and 3rd phases are skipped entirely.

Plus, if you're going to lose, play Tactics cards in the last phases to piss off your opponent.

I hate it when the AI does that to me. If I don't have a ship that is repairing between battles I need to play a repair card first in the next battle.

Sucks when it happens to you, incredibly satisfying when you do it to an enemy.

When I play a "repair card", do my ships repair even when I do not have any repair-sytems installed?

yes.

Cards are not tied to actualy installed systems.

you can play a beam boosting card with no beams. it will do jack shit for you, but you can play it.

I think the battle phases play out too fast...

also, unless you know all the cards by heart there's no way you have enough time to choose.

There is something to that, I agree. I would love to have more time to study and select the most appropriate battle cards.

Just like a real tactician and that's the thing: tactics take time!

You can look at the cards outside of combat, there should be a tab when you select your fleet on the world map for that.

Once you memorise what cards to use for your fleet, the phases last waaaaaaaaayyyy too long. Especially if both of you have alot of defence and require all 3 turns to destroy your opponent.

After playing a few battles you know your cards. Even if some new cards appear you have enough time to read them. Just choose the cards for the first and maybe the second round. Until you have to choose your card for the third round you have more than enough time to decide what you want to use.
