Commander Meta - Resource Gather Defense in Shifts

[alexheartnet]

So it is the beginning of the match and you have been ordered to defend a slowly moving rectangle rather then doing fun stuff like scouting and flying escape pods! Awesome! I can totally expect you to be on 100% alertness for the entire match

But wait! If I tell someone else to guard the harvesters and tell you to go someplace else once they do arrive, I can share the excitment with everyone! That way when the sneaky sneak space aces arrive to sneak kill my harvesters my guards will actually notice and respond. If they are nice and do a good job they might even get to fly a slow sluggish bomber afterwards

I might also randomly give the guards move orders so the excitment does not overwhelm. I hear veteran pilots like flying through rings and listening to loud beep noises
