Hik, I never have had to 'detect' planets before attacking them. Hell if planets had to be found first, then where the hell have the attacks on Maltruse been coming from? They murder anything that goes near them, so scouting couldn't have worked, and NOBODY has made a topic saying 'Oh hey look a planet with bugs orbiting it lets go attack'. Nope, instead they just made a topic there, because that's how we RP here.
Also, honestly, nobody goddamn CARES if you're watching MLP or really whatever else. What, we're supposed to just stop posting in the damn topic because you've decided to skip off somewhere else? We'll post our points when we have them, thank you, and we'll wait 'til you get back for you to post your's.
On the matter if Orph's Magister Empire topic, you know he had it up. Don't play that game. I'm not saying its your fault its no longer on the forum, I don't know whose it was for certain, but you KNOW it was up here and was approved.
Concerning Cap, for the matter...How the hell is that different? He attacked places LITERALLY at random, Orph is attacking planets based on whichever one he wants to attack. And on the note of characterization, Cap neeeever said any of that in his posts either, just that they were there and were attacking...We aren't our characters, but we DO have a pretty sizeable influence in what they do. So if he wants the Zarethian planet to be their first contact or whatever and wants to attempt a siege, the only reason he really necessarily needs is 'The Magister fleet was derping along through the galaxy and saw a random desert planet with a few settlements. They decided it was a really awesome and shiny desert planet and attacked it, intending to lay claim.' And honestly that's something that most people can either infer it just don't care about.
