So I just came online to see CW can not attack any FRR planet, lol yeah makes sense, because its the way to the south (terra) right?.

CJF on the other side is allowed to go further eastwards, which makes totally sense since it is going to cut off the Wolfes form the FRR while CJF would have a big area route to terra via Steiners.

it would have made a lot more sense corridorwise to let the JF's not go FFR but instead the wolfes.

in reverse, the steiners can attack a JF planet on the westside, while giving them a eastside CJF planet (close to where the JF can attack steiner) would give Steiner the possibility to attack CW as well.

There seems to be no system or sense within this

The system does seem lackluster. Particularly because we have no control over it. I think it would be nice if we could vote on the next cycle's targets.

wow ceasfire is over, still no attack corridor into FRR, we could go through the jadefalcons to get attachement to steiners, but since the jadefalcons would have only one planet at the FRR is is a bit too less for a buffer for the falcons that can go lost too easily.

The algorithm does seem to have it's issues. For example, we Liao's are chomping at the bit for a crack at retaking Capella, but right now the algorithm seems to have our attack corridor along the spinward border with Davion up into St. Ives.

Just ask Marik to lend you their warp gate.

An algorithm for this makes no sense. The ceasefires are long enough that a PGI employee of some kind could theoretically look at the map and choose the next attack target for the next attack phase after each ceasefire.

Just another sign of PGI's stupidity and incompetence, nothing new here, move along folks before the white knights start running amok.

Maybe that is exactly what is happening

It's simple. Clan Wolf has managed to annoy even the Attack generator.

I could see it being an issue getting someone to be in the office (or at their home computer willing to work) at 6am PST for the Oceanic Ceasefire and 10pm PST for the NA Ceasefire, 7 days a week. 365 days a year.

You wouldn't even have to do that. For most operations you could set the CW targets 1-2 days in advance as most factions have nice long open borders that any planet on can be attacked just fine no matter what happened in the previous 6 cease fires.

Add that to a rotating schedule where somebody can remote in to the server with the approve button on it, and you don't even need somebody to be in the office. Just somebody with a net connection and about 2 minutes.

Heck if I can do my banking, pay bills for my Credit Cards, Home Gas and Electric, check my health insurance payments, file my income taxes and make adjustments to my retirement from my home computer.... PGI should be able to set up something for attack planet picking.

so we conquered the steiner planet, and got

NONE for the next period to attack

Holy smokes look at the map, FRR might be completely gone by next week

they keep their capital

but this was to be expected they ar ein the middle of everything. and they seem to have coordination issues, they spread their units across all planets, instead they should focus on a single front and maybe "aggressively escape" into kurita terran

[Commander A9]

Remember a few ceasefire cycles ago how Clan Wolf had the option to defend one Jade Falcon planet, while attacking one that was right next to it?

Who the hell came up with this algorithm?

[Dawnstealer]

Being able to choose to attack any planet along a border would open up a much higher level of tactics. Sure you can take it, but can you hold all that you captured? Well? CAN YA????????[insert more question marks here, as needed]

Probably best to leave it up to luck instead...
