GA - No def set

If he sets ships that means the board isn't empty. Hence the system won't auto deploy the rest

As I understand it, the "no defense set" function that steps in to automate defense-setting only works when NO defense is set.

I does not work, IIUC, when someone sets a partial defense and leaves certain slots or territories empty.

This is simply the worst case of that - when the opponent sets only a single squad (in this case a fleet) and leaves all other slots empty. Actually, I suppose this is even worse than setting a single toon-squad, because there is no GA quest that you can advance against opposing fleets. This is literally the worst possible case of limited-defense.

I'm really sorry you got hurt by this, but I think the defense-autopopulate feature is probably working both as written and as intended.

Best of luck next time.

It doesn’t. But that’s not the standard being used anyway. The feature is to auto-deploy when no defense is set. Setting one squad does not equal “no defense”.

why though?
I understand not setting defense at all and i obviously also understand setting a full def, but only setting a fleet def doesn't make sense to me.

This is so utterly childish. You're emotionally incapable of handling the idea that you might lose occasionally, so you refuse to even try. Jesus, what a tool.

It's the next evolution of people refusing to set defenses because they don't think they can win. They can no longer deprive other players of a proper match by doing nothing, so instead they set a single squad to prevent auto-deploy from kicking in, so their opponent only gets one match instead of seven. Before they could maintain plausible deniability that they just forgot to set defenses or whatever, but with this there's zero excuse: it's deliberately sabotaging the game for the opponent just as an "F you" for the high crime of having a better roster.

I think that is rubbish but thanks for the explanation. You too, @PlanetOfRedDevil.

*sigh* some people just want to see the world burn.

I put three ships in on auto and I’m ahead by over 600 points. Good luck with your GA

If you don't set any defence then the game will do it for you and your guy will get to clear a full board. Don't like it... Tough.
