One thing I used to like doing in MOO2 was let the Ai control both sides in the space battles. That way you could see how your ships performed & get a quick resolution of the fight. ISG does not seem to offer this option. Seltecting auto resolve from the battle screen just gives the end result, as estimated by the game. I think a third option, which allows you to watch the action, if you don't feel the need to micro manage your ships, would be good. Regards Au...
This is a good suggestion and something we can consider for a future update. This is a somewhat complex feature to code and test though, so there are no guarantees we can add this. However, I took note of this suggestion and we'll see what we can do. Thanks!
Instead of a 3rd option, this "auto-pilot" feature should be added as a toggle in the battle itself. When toggled, hitting the end turn button will trigger the AI to move any remaining ships that are able to.
