grants a first strike if attacking

from GalCiv2 Forums
I was thinking that a cool new ship component would be a combat-only engine that would give an equipped ship a first strike if that ship/fleet is the attacker. A first strike doesn't allow the defenders to fire back for the free attack round.

Just an idea for the add-on.

Wasn't it like that by default in 1.0 or something? IIRC, it got balanced out because it was game-breakingly powerful.

Yes, it was up until 1.2. However, I *think* I remember Frogboy talking about initiative modules. I don't know if that's been scrapped after they realise what it did or not, but my guess is it probably has been.

i hope its not initiated.

1.0-1.2 was so easy. You built a ship with only weapons and engines. And you mopped up the entire galaxy with it.
That and it only cost 1/4 of a ship with defence.
