Why would merging as a WP1 task be considered cheating ?


It is strange for a boot. When you travel, you do not get healed. When you merge at waypoint 1 to fleet that did not move you get healed.

It is not so easy to explain without advanced-level knowledge of game engine behaviour. 2 of 3 things you need to know are not in help file.

1) The movement, being in battle, orbiting planet with dock, containing SFX affect the healing amount (in help file).
2) Waypoint 1 merge occur before healing (not in help file).
3) Check for movement is made only on original fleet to what others merged (not in help file).

So iztok is correct... it is like chaff, unobvious feature gained from undocumented behaviour of the game engine.
