Re: Remove vac mode

In my opinion we could just keep vacation mode, surely it has a legit use also.

But, perhaps a tiny tweak could remove what is called abuse of it ?

If entering vacation mode comes with a delay, lets say the moment you hit vacation mode it comes with a delay. For example 12 ticks delay for it to actually become active.

- If you are actually going away on vacation or have a planned time away from PA, you normally should be able to know this 12 ticks in advance?

- It could be cancelled at any point within theese 12 ticks, seing it would not be active in any way until those 12 ticks have passed

- People using vac mode as a tactic to avoid significant incommings for a night now might not be able to do this effectivly, as all fleets already launched (not in PL) will land the planet if entering vacationmode.

In my opinion a simple little tweak, that might not require much changing at all to be put in effect, but has the upside of possibly removing a nice way of abusing vacation mode
