You make some good points. I do not agree with all of them but it does warrant the need for an "Enable Fleet Retreat" option in the game set-up. That way all of this would not matter for people who would rather not use it. I realize it would most likely not be added to the game but I think it would be a fun addition all the same.
My only suggestion was to be able to retreat...I can't speak to the other options. I am not at a place I can test the retreat option on the ships so I will look for it. I doubt it however since no one else has mentioned it here. Anyway, the discussion seems to have lost some of it's "manners" so I will move on.

I think that would work. I do think that it should only apply to fleet battles and not individual ship skirmishes. One question though...does the % issue reflect entire fleet damage or each individual ship?

The battle calculations are done BEFORE we view it. That pretty much
Well, I am having a great time with this game. It has taken me a couple of games to get to the point where I can last long enough to hit some of the real stratagy in the game and as a result, have one idea I would love to suggest....let me retreat!! It would be nice if while my biggest and baddest capital ship is getting its but kicked, I could select a button during the battle to
Not so much a bug I guess (maybe it is) but I learned that if you update the version of the software and then try to continue an existing game, you get CTD when you try to save ship designs. I started a new game and it works fine so beware if you are in an existing game.
