beaten fleets don't seem to retreat from superior forces
« on: June 04, 2017, 11:07:41 AM »
So, something strange; maybe others have noticed it as well. I guess I mostly have observed this with pirate fleets since they are doing a lot of the fighting you see.

What happens is the two NPC fleets have a battle; one fleet is reduced to like 1-2 frigates, while the other fleet remains much bigger. The loser fleet burns off to a short distance, flits around like a mosquito for a couple seconds, then goes right back in for more, despite the fact it obviously cannot win.

But it seems like it should be just hightailing it (as I seem to remember from previous versions) for the nearest friendly system to despawn.
