You get the scans from the planets in question.... but the scanners dont press the launch/recall buttons for you. (unless they have VNC/proxi access) Ultimately the attacker and defense that decides the outcome of the battle. The scanner role is merely supplimentry.

Number one planet has almost always been decided in this manner and it is not something sufficiently serious for anyone to care about.

This round for example... sure I went on a few joint attacks with Wish this round ... but I still wanted my share of the roids... No way I was recalling.

Cripple the game play for whom? Its not something that would have an effect for myself not as if I will go and get a VNC support planet and send out of tag defense. if anything it would likely enchance the gameplay for others... especially the new players that PA crave for so much.

Not according to your fellow Mod/Mate Mz.

Exactly my point... In the mean time banning interalliance defense would not be as bad as having inter alliance agreements.

Are you saying to get my own support planets?

I am sure you must be proud.

Didnt apprime win this round? I'll let cardi and co previous history speak for itself.
Limiting VNC support planets options is no skin off my nose.
