Woah I'm surprised and encouraged that I agree with BRUTICUS.

Auto return fire CONS

- The game is ruled simply by who has the faster connection.=20
- In this game you design your ship to fight for you, you don't fight =
for your ship. Your ship ceases to fight for you.=20
- Will -flood- the server with page refreshes from the paranoid or the =
cautious
- We're supposed to be helping newbies fight back not totally removing =
their ability to return fire
- ME ridiculously becomes a button bashing game
- You lose a heap of players
- You get a tonne of complaints
- Combat becomes an elitist thing only for those in elite countries with =
expensive connections rather than in-keeping with one of the games =
premises of being free for -all- to enjoy equally.=20
- Tips the scales towards people who do not need the scales tipping =
towards them
- Makes us all look extremley stupid for putting in such a ridiculous =
feature. Remember combat is not just one on one or fleet vs fleet. There =
are other situations. Cream off a base for example, they aren't online =
to press attack. Pursuit, trying to run away. Need ship to fight for you =
while you're doing that or buying shields.=20

PROs=20

- cant think of any.=20

Among the players only a few ppl who see themselves profiting from it =
will ever think disabling auto return fire a good thing.=20
