The positioning of the Golans and your fleet in the beta are very good. Yes, you DO have to retreat or otherwise maneuver your fleet at the start of the battle. That makes perfect tactical sense. A military commander would forward deploy the fleet, which is mobile, to identify and ward off incoming threats.

Normally invaders want to drive past the defenders to secure the goal (i.e. the planet or shipyards in this case). Your defenders would be forward deployed to hammer or prevent invaders from reaching the goal. The Golans are then picking off damaged ships that make it through your lines.

And in all instances I've seen, you still have plenty of time to retreat or maneuver your forces closer to the Golans if you like. Personally I like to move my forces away from the Golans for flanking maneuvers...

Enc, I'm pretty sure statis defenses refers to both Golans and the shipyards.

Basically,

x = Golan, shipyard
0 = your ships
0 = enemy ships

    x
x     x




0  0 0




000

Meaning if you want the Golans to be involved in the initial battle, you have to retreat.

The Golans have been moved in front of the bases. The edited maps however were not in the beta.

I find this annoying myself and when Im outnumbered it is leaves me at quite a disadvantage having my fleet and golan separated,and yet if you have capital ships you cant move them because they won't get their in time.


Its a damned pain,though I suffer from this and so does the AI so I'll let it go.

its kind-of annoying when i'm being attacked and my fleet is in the middle of the map, but my static defenses are in the opposite corner of the map and near worthless because the enemy will chase me down if i turn around to get to the space station (and is a waste of time)

so is there some for of way to use the FoC feature where only one ship in the fleet spawns in at the begining, except when your defending too
