Vacation Mode Enabling

You may not enter vacation mode until your fleets are all back home and not scheduled for launch.

I was wondering whether anyone would have any problems with this being changed, so that you can enter vacation mode when all of your fleets are returning or not scheduled for launch; And if so, whether these fleets should remain at ETA 6 (or whatever) from home untill you return from vacation mode, or whether they should still return at normal speed (the latter would mean that entering vac mode to dodge a fleet catch wouldnt achieve anything).

What do you think?

Re: Vacation Mode Enabling

Re: Vacation Mode Enabling

But if you change this so u can go into vac mode but your fleets still come home at the normal time then its no problem. As fleets would have to be launched before yours returned to get an effective fleet catch

don't see what it would add to the game?... if you're going away for the weekend or for a holiday where you use vac mode you do know a day in advance so you can just not attack that night...

Re: Vacation Mode Enabling

If you find that you have incs and you cant get into vac mode before a holiday or something what can you do ?

It shoudl say would you like vac mode enabled as soon as iti s valid. If you went to timbuctu for 2 weeks and had solid incs before your flight u wouldnt be able to set vac mode.

Re: Vacation Mode Enabling

i agree, id say as long as you dont have a outgoing fleet then you can start vacation mode.

This way,
If you have incs, you can go to vacation mode.
If you have a returning fleet, you can go into vacation mode.
If you have a fleet on attack, you can recall and then go into vacation mode
If you have a fleet on defence, you can recall and then go into vacation mode
If you set vacation mode with incs, no one can launch on you, be it defence or more hostiles.
`-> Fleets set to prelaunch WILL fly, but if cancelled cannot be set again.

I interpreted his last point to be if you have any prelaunched fleets inbound to your planet, they will still launch - however if those fleets are cancelled they cannot be re-set to launch.

Which makes sense, and its how it works atm anyway.
