Firstly, i've gotta say i really like this mod. It fleshes out the pirate faction, has many other fun, suprising, and usefull additions.
BUT
In order to convey my point, let me refer to another game. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. A roguelike, heavily dependent on positioning and movement speed. There is a particular enemy there - a centaur. Shoots from afar, usually faster than player characters, difficult to run from. However, it does not kite, despite being technically able to do so, as it is not programmed to do so. Why? There was an extensive discussion, and testing, overally the results boggled down to this - such a behaviour, while tactically sound for the mob, would make him far to strong, and, most importantly, importantly tedious and unfun to fight against.
Starlight Cabal is a faction of kiting centaurs. Dear lord, never have i despised something so hard in a video game.
