Combat: Engage / Disengage and 10‑Second Turns
Replacing “click attack” with an engage view, weapon selection, ammo management, and turn pacing that doesn’t melt the server.

Combat needs to feel like a decision, not a button. We’re moving to an engage action that opens a dedicated combat view with ship vs ship info, weapon toggles, and a simple turn timer.
We’re also slowing refresh cadence to avoid hammering the API—updates every 5–10 seconds or when a turn ends.
Design goals
- Weapon-level control (ammo, class, overcharge options).
- Readable state: shields, hull, effects.
- Server-respectful polling.
