Improve Incomming Scan

Please make the incomming scan able to see either the launchtick or the landtick of prelaunched fleets. At the moment, prelaunching is very frustrating if you are online and know you're getting incs, but not when. Its really unfair that people that PL and go to bed get to sleep but the poor DCs have to sit and wait for noone knows how long for fleets they know will be coming. Atleast let the dedicated people get some advantage instead of disadvantage here.

Re: Improve Incomming Scan

I hate pre-launch and always have but...........

This proposal adds yet another faking option which will make even wider the gap between the ultra-active and the rest. - unless we make pre-launch irreversible until after the fleet has actually launched. (Please note that I'm not recommending that amendment because we all make mistakes calculating our launch ticks from time to time - and it would be bad news if we weren't able to correct them).

u forget that PL is also used to save fleet eg. from 1st wave so then u can use it for next wave etc...

Re: Improve Incomming Scan

Agreed - that's (now) another reason that I'm not recommending that amendment.

Awful idea, better make PL's invisble on JPG.

Re: Improve Incomming Scan

I think not showing prelaunched fleets on a JGP could be fun.

Where does this **** over actives? So far, if you are active, you might see: "Oh, I have prelaunched incs" but you still don't know when or if you will get incoming at all. But feel free to elaborate on your point.

to a certain extent its better for actives as they will be the first to know when their gal is getting incs.

but I think it would be getting rid of some of the fun if we are deprived of slingshot def against prelaunches.
Fcs could be prelaunched hours in advance and there would be much less way of telling if you are going to be fcd so it cant be avoided unless someone leaks info, where is the fun if you are not all trying to launch within a 30 second window?

Re: Improve Incomming Scan

You know when they are going to come. When i know im getting incs ill set an earlier alarm etc.

It means people can just prelaunch and leave at 8pm now.

Oh? How do you know that from the jgp or incoming scan? I do agree that you might get some sort of (false) alert from seeing such a fleet. But it's something that you cannot really rely upon anyway

So, it is some form of information?

The game doesnt need to be made easier for the idiots who prelaunch and go to bed, they dont need another advantage.


You can also plan out how many waves you will get and stuff like that.

For example there is no point in covering a huge team up on you if there are another 4 to follow. Yes this is only a basic view using the jgp but its better than no information at all.

I did agree it is information, I just dispute the fact that it is useful information at all, since for the attackers it is way too easy to mask their real intentions by prelaunching on someone with, say, + 10, then go grab 9 hours of sleep, come back and launch at someone completely different.

Admittedly, it adds some kind of tactical aspect to prelaunch, which increases the depth in game-play. So I guess this could stay, and exactly in the way it is available in.
