1) It considers the needler burst fire to be a single shot apparently, because it turns right after firing, making 80% of the salvo miss.Hammerhead has no good reasons to turn away from enemy in the first place (except distributing armor damage after shields fail), even less so while firing Needlers. I think this belongs to bug reports.
The weapon groups are using the default (auto) settings:
1) Both needlers, with alternative fire.
2) Torpedoes.
3) Tactical lasers.
we need something like AI hint to override "normal" logic of AI, like not using PD weapons to attack normal ships, ever if flux capacity allows it.I would not want that, especially on multipurpose weapons like IPDAI IR Pulse Lasers, dual flak, or devastator. Even mass burst PD can work as assault weapons in a pinch.
Doesn't this happen with any burst fire weapon on a hardpoint? My own Apogee tach lanced my several times because turn to face a single talon is more important.
