Talk:Ground Base

From PlanetsWiki

"Forming new bases

The interesting thing is that a ship can set a transfer to make a new base and at tick 1 it will transfer, but the base won't be formed until long after movement is done. The stuff that you transferred cannot be attacked from space, collected by other bases, or ground assaulted because it isn't formed yet. It is put into a queue that will process after Ship Command Codes function."

This paragraph seems to be out of date. I just had the possibility to test it in a real game and counting on this information I beamed one guy down to a planet in enemy territory on fly-by and expected him to survive the combat phase because of the above mentioned. However, it didn't turn out that way. My new base was immediately attacked and destroyed by an enemy ship in orbit in the very same turn.

Phaidros

Can confirm this. Enemy hyp in and form a Base (not sure if via Pod or by beaming down people). In the first combat what start in the same turn he hyp in his new Base was destroyed from me. JoSch 14:47, 14 January 2008 (CET)
