over in .org a discussion about (manipulating) firing order. complex as this discussion already is, with respect to the bounce effect and therefore shifting fodder to fire following heavy ships, at the core of this discussion is the ability to manipulate firing order using ACS fleet slots.

maybe I can link a few threads here?...

this last link perhaps contains a more detailed description of (manipulated) firing order results/possibilities

anyone have definitive/recent answer manipulating attacking firing order?

is there a method to manipulate battle firing order?

do ACS fleet slots determine battle firing order?

a few posts have indicated ACS fleets with longest trip time fire 1st.

which is it?

all or none of the above?

EDIT: here is an addendum to my question...

is their anyone at GF with sufficient access permissions to validate a conclusive & precise answer to this question... manipulating attack firing order?

Yes, there is already a method to manipulate fireing order in ACS. ACS-Fleets sent first will be ordered to the left and shoot first.
Sadly, at the moment the fleet-movement got a small bug, so the ACS-Fleets will be ordered randomly. Neverless in combat the fleets will be ordered in there correct ordering.

This Post here describes best, how this influences the battle. There is only one small fault in the text:
Sield Damage will be rounded down not off. So 0.98% Damage to the shield will still be ignored.

thank you Mario
