I believe there should be an option to view multiplayer battles as they are happening. Lets say you have an ally fighting a battle. It would be cool to be able to see how it turns out. If you do not want to view it there should be a yes/no option that gives you the choice.



It would also be nice to fight in joint battles together. If an enemy is attacking an ally system and you have your own ships there, you should be able to participate in the same fight and help your ally defend the system.

Yes this certainly beats waiting around wandering what others are doing when your already for the next turn....



Should be a standard feature: Jump-N-Watch, then you can see what they are going on about on Voice coms and the like too, makes the experiencing more shared for that matter too.



A variant of this is Jump-N-Play where opposing Teams can Jump into a Space Battle and play the ai fighting their human opponent's Team. So you can have Teams of mixed ai and human getting more out of the combination and having alot of fun with it at the same time.



definitely a smart move by Amp to program into the game!! +lots of

+1 for the ability to see other battles - providing the 'owner' of the fleet allows you to view or you have the right to view the battle by



The ability to have 3 (or more) way battles would be pretty good as well. Birth of the Federation had this with a similar battle system - and it made for some fantastic multiplayer.

Feel free to post here about this topic here and inform yourself about the variations the threads listed above have already discussed, but don't open new suggestion threads for anything alike.

I'd like the ability to spectate battles that are within your scanning radius (makes sense, scientifically speaking). If you're in an alliance, by extension of seeing their search radius, you could see the battles your allies are engaged in too. This would limit the feature from being any kind of tactical advantage, and be incentive to create more explorer vessels. Usually, after my first explorer dies, I'm left with no real reason to build another.



Left to a multiplayer match, however, the time just waxes on and I'm often left wondering "What's he up to? How long is his 7th consecutive battle going to take? Is he winning?"



+1 for Joint fleet battles
