21:07.05 <ORBot> The Outer Reaches Creators Hour Is Starting
21:07.24 <AthenaOfDelphi> I have no announcements at this time
21:07.42 <AthenaOfDelphi> so we'll get straight onto the questions
21:07.43 <AthenaOfDelphi> !nqp
21:07.43 <ORBot> Black Company asked : Can fleets sent on intercept orders be intercepted?
21:07.55 <AthenaOfDelphi> No
21:08.09 <AthenaOfDelphi> Simple answer to that :-)
21:08.09 <Black-Company> kk
21:08.11 <AthenaOfDelphi> !nqp
21:08.11 <ORBot> Black Company asked : Should Matter Catching/stealing be classed as an attack? So that the 60% rule is broken by the thief and can pay the consequences.
21:09.26 <AthenaOfDelphi> Thats an interesting point and one we'll consider. I'll add it to our issue tracker now, gimme 2 secs
21:11.11 <AthenaOfDelphi> Added.
21:11.16 <Black-Company> thks
21:11.22 <AthenaOfDelphi> Your welcome
21:11.25 <AthenaOfDelphi> Next question?
21:11.28 <Black-Company> kk
21:11.34 <AthenaOfDelphi> !nqp
21:11.34 <ORBot> Black Company asked : If two players send fleets to defend planet A, are they treated as one logical fleet for the purposes of the battle?
21:11.57 <AthenaOfDelphi> Yes. Attackers are also considered to be one logical fleet... at least for now
21:12.41 <AthenaOfDelphi> This is one of the changes we want to bring in for season 3, but defenders will always work together... attackers will be broken up into alliance groups who will fight amongst themselves as well as fighting the defenders
21:13.09 <Black-Company> as per forum
21:13.15 <AthenaOfDelphi> yes
21:13.19 <Black-Company> kk
21:13.32 <AthenaOfDelphi> do you have any comments on that hon?
21:14.21 <Black-Company> no thats all I needed and was wHAT I was expecting thks
21:14.55 <AthenaOfDelphi> You did ask one other question about intercepts and the 60% rule... intercepts don't come into the 60% rule because you aren't attacking a planet
21:15.13 <AthenaOfDelphi> This was covered a couple of sessions ago I think
21:15.36 <AthenaOfDelphi> If thats everything covered, I'll call this session to a close
21:15.52 <Black-Company> Is that regardless of whether you are intercepting an attacking, defending or IPT fleet
21:16.02 <AthenaOfDelphi> yes.
21:16.11 <Black-Company> kk
21:16.13 <AthenaOfDelphi> Intercepts don't fall under the 60% rule at all
21:16.50 <AthenaOfDelphi> Apologies for the somewhat shorter than usual creators hour
21:17.15 <AthenaOfDelphi> Given a choice I can assure you Spirit would much rather be here than tucked up in bed
21:17.23 <AthenaOfDelphi> Thanks for coming peeps
