Run like the french
I know some hardcore players won't agree with me. But i think this feature alone makes the round worth playing.

Re: Run like the french
Basically i have seen it in beta atm, your base fleet now has an option to "stay and fight" or "run like the french". Its just how it sounds, giving you the option at last to have ships at base be safe etc.
I personally like it as i can at times go missing for a day or two drunk and having this simple option i can click on my phone when i have mass inc is wintastic.

Re: Run like the french
this only benefits the unactive ppl.. if ure gone for days and u know about it then u can enter vacation mode, if u dont do it and get yer ships killed due that then its imo yer own fault and should not b awarded nehow

Re: Run like the french
If your fleet is trapped or if you are inactive you won't lose your ships. The attacker will still get his roids, so from my perspective, it's a win win situation.

Re: Run like the french
Dear lord, they seriously called it "run like the french".

thats just on beta, Cin is going to rename it when it hits the game.
P.S.: covert op ship sabatoge kills hiding base ships, and i think prods go straight in and don't participate!

Re: Run like the french
Are hiding ships scannable on both U and AU scans?

Re: Run like the french
Yes.
It doesn't differentiate between 'hiding' and active ships at base.

Multihunters would suddenly have a hard time justifying some of their warnings, though, considering the game starts using such a language as well ;-)

Re: Run like the french
Anything that encourages the MH to use more common sense and less irrational political correctness is probably a good thing though!

Re: Run like the french
Run like the Brits (at Dunkerk) would work too... if you care about accurate history.
SKs could be renamed American drones... but there is no civilian building to blow in PA
I find the name of this feature deeply insulting, and I invite the smartass who came up with it to follow the french army just for a day in Afghanistan, Central Africa or Lebanon.
