I looked through the summary list of all the suggestions thus far, so if this is a duplicate, I apologize, but I did not see something similar to this in the list.



I noticed that there is a similar flow to all battles. All fleets travel parallel to each other. They always position themselves right along the trajectory of the incoming fleet. They always head towards the planet.



It would be far more interesting to me if different conditions spawned a different cinematic. Say you have a fleet in intercept mode. I would like to see a cinematic where you are waiting at their exit point and are ready to unleash a barrage asap. A cinematic where ships are going head to head and even passing by each other for some point blank shots is another consideration I would like to submit. I am not all that particularly creative, but I would like to think that this would be something simple for the devs to do which would add more flavor to the combat in their game, so I won't submit a ton of ideas for the cinematic sequences. I just wanted to bring it up in case it had slipped through the cracks.



I truly enjoy how the combat is done in this game and I applaud the creativity. I just hope that it does not become something that is automatically calculated after people can't stand to look at the same sequence for the X time.

agreed.

I think the attacker should be headed toward the planet and the defender heading out-system to intercept them maybe turn around in a later phase to go the same direction.

Seems to me the only time they would go the same way would be if one is chasing the other say after one fleet flees and the other catches up.

I think it would be cool to have flanking maneuvers from escort ships (corvettes and destroyers) or going for a spear head in order to split a fleet (highly risky due to crossfire but possibly worth while given the situation)

This osunds very good to me i dont really like the 'ever the same' sequence. It is nice

for each race for each ship but not more.

Also i would like it if the fleet that is in the system is able to do some think like

hide behind a moon or so to get an advantage. Sure not everytime and it must not

work every time but it would make the battles more interesting.
