Hey all!
I just missed out a huge (for my points...) kill on an incoming fleet in a server on .us because an alliance mate couldn't ADS-defend me since I was within the noob protection.

I don't know if it's a bug or if it's supposed to be this way, but it doesn't matter if this thread is a complaint, suggestion, or bug report, my point is still the same. Logically I find no reasons as to why you shouldn't be able to defend someone within the noob protection, but rather the opposite since you want to defend your weak alliancemates.

If it's not a bug, can someone update me on why the game is programmed in this way please.

Yet it prevents the top player from defending an ally that needs him.

The FS-point is useless since the lower ranked player can still be phalanxed.
The bait-point is fairly decent I guess. Can't really say which I think is the most important, avoid baiting or being able to protect new players in the alliance, so I guess I'm gonna have to rely upon GF for once.

Thx for the answers anyways.
