Option:
Tactics are set on fleet slots (and base) and need 4 ticks to change.
You can use a scan to see the fleet tactics.
OFC the target can change it's tactic until eta 4 meaning you will have to scan at least twice to be sure: end of eta4, end of eta1.

With that option I suggest the attack fleet can change it's orders too, up to eta4.
Yes there is a "paper - scissors" aspect, is that bad or 'realistic' ?
That will benefit the active players who can play and change tactics / scans closer to the tick. It gives them an edge over the casual players who set their fleets in prelaunch and just come online before landing to check the alliance scans.
