Re: Prelaunch and multi tick battles

We all know that prelaunch has its problems - one of them being that it allows (encourages) attackers to go to sleep while defenders are forced to stay awake and active at ridiculous hours in the morning.

Of course, some attacking players still remain active and are around to offer their defence fleets when they're needed - but many don't. As a result there are few defence fleets available to DCs when they have to try to cover the inevitable (mainly prelaunched) masses of incoming fleets at 04:00 GMT and later.

No wonder we have many burnt out and demoralised (ex)DCs - and no wonder we're playing in an ever-shrinking universe.
