Other than using totally different teams on defense randomly whats stopping the guy from screenshotting my defense and then contacting my next 2 opponent on discord or whatever and showing them my defensive placements so they know exaxtly who to put on offense....
I do like the chat feature but maybe they should only let you see your opponent in chat instead of everyone in the bracket...this would avoid or lessen chamce of collusion.... eventually friends may be bracketed together and could share opponents defenses etc...
Randomizing D would help but if you dont have roster to do that them getting a snapshot of your areas is possible....all i can think of is only letting you see who you are playing not the other 6 so no way to set up that coomincation or lessining the chace of collusion occurs ....
Thoughts ??

Again with you.... some people do not have much of a choice on whats going on D
Does the concept of someone screenshotging your defenses and sending them to someone not click with you....
Irs possible and would be less likely if you could only chat with current opponent and not see the others
The possibility of collision is there no reason not to take steps to stop it...
I get ppl care enough to whine when they miss a quest or their 700k credits but you know darn well the lengths ppl will go to for an advantage around here
I have yet to hear an opinion on stopping the possibilty of cheating.... your statement was who cares so big help
Also i mentioned randomizing D like you so....
I do understand you dont care i still think you underestimate how devious ppl can be... especially after losing
You: need help
Them: here's some help
You: how dare you
If you know ahead of time you cant beat the area guarding his ships....your best team is going on defense as opposed to not knowing setting b team on D hitting a wall now with your weakened defense
It takes away possible deception plays,
If its not cheating why dont they let us see what your setting as your setting it..... because it would give whoever places last an advantage..... and would cause 500 “oh i missed setting defense cause i tried to outwait opponent posts on forum
Its collusion plain and simple
I love how when you miss credits and quests from not setting D its against spirit of the game but someone sending them pics of your probable defense is meh who cares.....
Its like your saying who cares if someone trys to help you lose or win
I would love to hear lucifers opinion on if this type of collusion is acceptable
“Hey guys theres a Team instinct guy our sworn enemy.... someone find these 6 guys discords”
Oh yeah that i believe
How is chattibg cheating?
And what do you expect to gain with your proposed 'solution'? You can still contact any player you like in the game.
Basically, use common sense. If what you are about to do is rude, don't do it. Call it what you want, but it is basic common courtesy and common sense.
And also, the forum is to be used as a tool to connect the player base to discuss what is going on in the game (pros and cons). I usually do not care if people get upsrt about stuff because we all do; we are all human after all. If you do not like what someone has to say, you can ignore it (like you should), or you can offer a counter-point. You should not ever attack or insult them for their point/question. @3pourr2 brought up a valid point, and you insulted him because you seemingly disagreed with the point he was making. I understand your concern about "collusion" in GA, but to be fair, you likely will never find out that it happens if it ever does actually occur. So please, if you end up losing a GA round at some point, please do not come storming into the forum insisting that you were colluded against, because no one will take you seriously, as everyone will just assume you just lost. But if you bring proof of it to CG, then maybe they will make a point about it and do something to prevent it from happening. Until then though, I guess that it could add an extra challenge to the GA (which also sounds like fun). Best of luck in GA.
get real
If you feel a player is cheating please report it to CG_LucifersDaddy.
Other than that, this is the same as TW where players share the defensive strategies of other guilds. It doesnt seem to be making anyone lose beyond what they would lose due to the toons they have.
Also let's say that the stars line up, and you get thrown into this odd group of 7 that decides to gang up on you with no benefit to 7 of them. You'll be in a different random group every time. So how often will that happen?
The OP is being paranoid over a non-problem. There is little to no benefit. It's difficult to coordinate with new groups of random people. This is a silly post.
If you really don’t have a choice then wouldn’t it already be obvious to your opponent what you will do from looking at your roster without needing to contact your prior opponent?
Tell that to all the opponents I’ve faced so far, lol. I fought clones and jawas in the last round.
Secondly, you can literally look at everyone else's roster. You already know what teams they have. Sure, you don't know where they're placing them but you know what you're up against.

B: Your opponent has no way of knowing which teams you will put on defense and which ones you'll reserve for attack
C: As this is yet another completely baseless Grand Arena bashing thread, here are some cute puppies for everyone to look at and just chill out for a second:
Discord: Iona Starbound#5299
I agree, OP, I've never lost once in this game except when I do, its only because 7 people up and decided to work together against me
ooowww. puppies.
