  • Do you agree Jamski that there is a big difference between "I use the same OoB as X" and "I place my fleet under the command of X". I never use the former, but sometimes must resort to the latter.

          No, there is no difference. The result is the same - you are relying on someone else to supply the OoB. What if one player gets spyed? What if one backstabs? What if one player simply sends no orders? I need those OoBs. End of discussion.

          • When the situation was reversed I granted your request to place your fleet under Skanky's command and now you won't do the same for me.

                  Yes, Jamski is teh EVIL. And not just in the cartoonish, Saturday-morning-idiot-cartoon-villain, hay-guyz-I-kick-puppies-and- throw-old-ladies-off-buildings way.

                      • Just to chime in on this discussion but I would submit that there is a huge difference between 'use (ally)'s OOB' and 'place my fleet under the control of (ally)' since the first one imposes NO RISK on you, the second one means you had damned well better trust your ally since he could (theoretically) command your fleet to attack yourself.

                        Big difference IMHO.

                            My thinking also.

                            EDIT: When I was the GM I didn't allow "use my ally's OoB". Instead a slightly modified form was acceptable "my ally will provide my OoB".

                            • I don't think there's enough of a difference between the two. I wouldn't allow either as a GM either, excepting perhaps a rare instance where one player was going to be out of town for a week or something.

                              Orders sent.

                              • I submit that there is a huge difference, 'use ally's OOB' still retains fleet to your orders, be they attack X, defend self, whatever... WITH THE SAME OOB AS YOUR ALLY. AUTOMATICALLY.

                                'ally controls fleet' on the other hand means instead of an ally attack on X for example, your (hypothetical ally) could instead redirect the fleet to attack Y or Z, decide to use a suicidal OOB for it and attack seperately, etc.

                                Huge difference there.
