Summary0023843: CPAs syncing with Exos
DescriptionSince CPAs now really like Cross Planet Attacks with the new option, I think we should consider adding the "Let Exos and CPAs sync" feature from AIWC back in.

I don't mind it, although I'm not entirely sure what the original feature was in AIWC, as that was after my time. Is that basically an "if there are two countdowns happening, let the countdowns shift to match?"

IIRC, in aiwc it would send them in an underfunded state, essentially "it must go now with whatever budget it has" in order to sync up as long as there would be a decent amount to actually send. I remember the exos were sent in such an adjusted way, but I don't remember if the cpa was. Alternatively, it could delay the exo for a while instead of rushing it in an underfunded state, perhaps choosing this instead of the previous option when appropriate.

Ah, okay, I see. Well, that might be interesting for the future, theoretically during the DLC3 development timeframe.

I seem to rememeber CPA's in classic being especially impactful because it seemed to sync with waves and other factors -- this would be great to recreate

In AIWC iirc, code would basically say 'If we were going to do a CPA and <something else scary" within a few minutes, instead sync their timers to get an extra scary/epic moment". That's what I had in mind at least.
