Do people get to see cov-op chance? But seeing as cov-ops are instant, then yes i guess some way of getting a basic info.

Maybe a basic system like All Clear, Yellow Alert, Red Alert and you would see if in the news like.

"Due to recent hostile actions, our military status has been raised to Yellow Alert".

and when it decreases.

"Our fleet status has been lowered to All Clear".

Alert status also directly limit roid capping.

All Clear = 25%
Yellow Alert = 15%
Red Alert = 5%

So your still capping at red alert, but its more worth while to attack another target if you want a higher cap.

Also this could even lead to people actually launching attacks through out the the day to beat the midday landers.
