Bringing back the cease fire upon game startup.

  Is there any chance of Bringing back the cease fire  upon game startup?  I have been playing a  map (Sector of defeat) that has a big NPC  presence  keep geting clobbered by  them. Even before my  selected opponent  gets    a 1/4 of the way to me. I get clobbered by the NPC .I feel  it would be nice if one could  have the option of toggleing  on this feature upon startup.

I hope so, I liked it. The NPC isn't the reason for me though, they're mostly harmless.

cease fire has never been available in skirmish mode. go open a multiplayer lan game, there you can select cease fire even if you just play against AIs

Never? It was available before this version.

Well I have to say just try the "Sector of Defeat" map a few times. The NPC's are  not  Harmless as you say.

there actually is away to get cease fire in single player. First go to multiplayer and setup all your options, speed, npc, and cease fire. Second hit the save options button. Third exit go to instant action and hit load options. finally cease fire will come up.

where can i find this map?  First go to the Forums section , then scroll down to the childs boards . click on that.  Then look for "Gamers map pack 1" it is  in that map pack that this map is in.

errr..... I think it tis pointless... but I guess I'm probably not the only N00B. After all, I find no real use of it...

Its really a game pro-longer, just makes games A) last longer and get to use more advanced vessels.

Yeah, I'm a N00B, but I had experience with its bad affects... the AI just puts their ships in your base during cease fire and when it ends burst their weapons at you!

I never came to like that feature for when there is AI. Because that is what they did (at least in stock that is).
