Dumb question about interception
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2023 2:50 am
Hi all
First up, congrats to the devs on a really deep and brilliant game ... I've been playing since the start of the year and it just keeps getting better.
Came back to it last week after a bit of a break, and now can't figure out how to manage interceptions. In the old days, I'd split the fleet into two, and then the second fleet could always force the aliens into combat. I recall seeing something in the patch notes about this, but now I can't figure out how to do it - if I split the fleet the old-school way, the aliens can now skip away from both fleets. But I can't see anything in the interface that lets me automatically split the fleet to achieve the interception.
Would love it if someone can point out what really dopey and obvious thing I've missed!
