[Empire] using the Interdictor

I think you should be able to choose where you retreat to. That adds more strategy to the game.

It would also take time unless you chose before hand which planet they would retreat to. I'd rather just know that the retreat (when attacking) would take them back to the planet from which they came.

[Megajames]

yes, but it would be irritating for players who are not that bothered about strategy

If your not bothered about strategy, then why would you be playing the game??? It is a strategy game!!

[Little.B]

In general when you retreat you go back where you came from. So the game design is fine for me here

[Siddus]

You retreat to the nearest planet under your control, not necessarily to you come from. It's strange sometime because when you have a front line with one isolated planet on the other side. You can send troops to this planets by launching an attack on a neighbour planet and retreat as soon as possible

But it would actually be nice to have some slots around the map or between the planets...deep space would be an excellent example....they are not planets...but only points where you can gather...it would add more strategy for multiplayer mode and more realism in overall. because right now...the only space fights are around a planetary system or in an asteroid field....

when your grondforces lose you dont have much choice in wich direction to retreat, as for losin spacebatlles is in the game.

at the start of battle you can choose your units so i figure you can also choose what planet to retreat too
