Hello!
In the past I've always felt if you could do it in the game and it wasn't a obvious bug, it was fair. This includes things like SDF, SD blockades, planet warp in scripts yadda yadda.. if you were hardcore you learned these tactics or quit!
Recently I've played in a number of games where people over stack their front sectors with *heaps* of shieled planets for defense. THe idea is you come on before extern, move them, then after extern move them back. THis means even if sectors are limited to 5 planets you can put in 30 level 6's till extern and move them.
Obviously this is great defense and i could do it myself (I'venot missed a extern in months..).
But I honestly think this ruins the balance of the game. Why have a max planets/sector option if people are going to flaunt it in such a way?
I'm curious what others peoples opinions are.. am I getting soft?
