Aggressive behavior
« on: November 28, 2015, 11:03:18 AM »

I am lookin' at hiring some officers, and there is a wolf I need piloted, It's main weapon is a pulse laser. I was wondering how good aggressive officers are, do they usually get your ships killed? are they good? Should I even consider hiring an aggressive officer?

They are good but probably not on a Wolf. They work well on durable ships that can survive taking some hits while closing in on the enemy. Lasher, Enforcer, Dominator and so on. On a Wolf, I'd use a Steady or Cautious officer depending on what kind of weapons it has.

I hear putting an aggressive officer on a wolf works well if it is a dedicated pursuit ship. It would probably suicide into a destroyer in a normal fight though.

From what I've seen, aggressive Wolf can survive just fine, if doesn't have any close range weapons (only Graviton + Tac lasers).
