mlaub, thanks for explanations. I don't want to say anything against the word of an experienced player, but still...

No worries. Fire away!

- This game is mentioned for beginners and I believe chaff could complicate situation a lot.

Yes, it could. Chaff definately makes things more interesting, but it is certainly not an end all to everything. IMO, it forces people to stop relying on just missile ships, and learn how to create balanced fleets. I have played against players who clearly had no idea how to create balanced fleets, and instead relied on missile ships almost exclusively. No idea if this was because of no chaff games, but I have my suspicions...

- I lack experience. But from what I know I somewhat doubt that something like chaff can make Stars! better / more interesting. I know other games where "cannon fodder" ships make great difference, and the cause is the same - wrong (is I believe it is) game code. Perhaps I'll change my mind in the future...

This goes beyond the thread... While it may be a coding error, it really does make sense. Chaff is employed against modern day missles. No reason to think this will change. Makes more sense than overlapping shields do, that's for sure. Realize that most chaff won't last past round 2, maybe 3, unless you are not prepared.
