There's enough to do in GC2 to have to worry about tactical battles as well. I don't completely agree with you Alfonse. Yes, there is plenty to do in GC2...probably enough to warrant there never being interactive tactical battles. However, that is an element that many people find as

This might not be an *easy* tweak, but seems to be the only sanctioned "ideas" forum... I ran across an early post where a player described his own ships (gifted to an AI player) being used against him. It reminded me of a story I heard many years ago about a country using planes the US gave them to attack US Navy pilots.

There were two incidents where they used the gift planes to attack our planes. Our pilots essentially hit a kill switch that deactivated the missles fired at us, then blew the idiots out of the sky.
