[Cool will never die but you will]

Is it just me or if no FRR players ever sign up for a planets defense, we'll never lose one?

Perhaps we as a faction, should Focus on Attacking other planets instead of the canonical clan steam roll though our space.

Gaming the system seems like a bad way to play..

[Cool will never die but you will]

perhaps it is, but I don't want to lose, ad I will do everything in my power to defend the FRR. even if that means not defending her.

As I stated, we should focus on attacking not defending.

To coordinate drops for CW visit Teamspeak server: frrhub.tk:9725

It won't work anyway, CW will drop an attacking team against your planets turrets alone, with no mech defenders at all.

This. A couple posts about this happening to people. Not sure if it is intentional. One the one hand it makes sense, on the other it could very easily be abused by large groups or off-hours.

Agreed.

So... that's all you could come up with as to why people dropping in CW on the FRR front should not meet on the same Teamspeak to coordinate drops? Did you leave your brain at home or something? When players are active they should always try cooridating their drops so that they can fight more effectively together. That's group dropping 101, the most basic of the basic. Unless your comment was directed at someone else in which case I rescind my statements and sincerely apologize for the mix up.

If you do not sign up they will get a free win, just have to take out the cannon vs turrets. We just did it to steiner.

[Klappspaten]

The matches without a defender are not intentional.
However, OPs idea wouldn´t work anyway, because if we did that all the attacking 12 man units would stand against our solo players and they would reign supreme, we need to defend AND attack.

Maybe you guys should play more games and think about the mechanic before making a thread.

Organized units should only click defend a planet when they see the message that the planet is currently under attack and needs defenders.

An organized unit should never initiate a Defense to launch a game! This will result in a DEFENSE call going out to to the planets attacking faction and your unit will find itself in counter attack mode. This is the worst possible type drop, avoid it.


FRR units should initiate attacks against clan controlled worlds, or they should be on 'Reaction' to respond to Clan attacks on FRR or allied controlled planets.

It is intentional. Else, as proposed, a Faction getting attacked would just have to not defend and attackers could never take a planet.

Without attackers able to take a planet tick without defenders, everyone would just attack, no one would defend, and we'd have no conflicts.
