Defenses works, just not offenses. They can move and get ready (or run like a coward), but not attack. Of course the bad side to this is 15 ships come in out of nowhere, power up defenses preventing the folks getting ambushed from finishing off the bait that lured them in.

Yeah, that's what players will like, sitting there picking their asses for 3 minutes while they cannot do anything. Taking movement control away from a player is never the way to solve game design. Whew. I said it. Forcing someone to be immobile for 3 minutes following login? Yeah, that’s what players will like, sitting there picking their asses for 3 minutes while they cannot do anything.

The map! Just add a "### people logged off in the last hour in this system" to the info block of a system. Works the same way as "### of ships destroyed in the last hour". This way you can see a logoff trap and choose whether to engauge. Also it really deters the tactic because it gives away your potential fleet size. Only thing it doesn't solve is log off and wait several hours to log back in to rampage a system. A simple change would be to include all logoffs in the last 24 hours that still haven't logged back on. Just something simple to check the number of logoffs in a system would suffice. Hell they could even make it a / command. Everyone seems to have overlooked the easiest solution. The map!
