Why would you put a ship that needs to be far away to be of optimal value in the game if the captains are going to be the most incompetent fools on the field, constantly huddling together with other ships instead of retreating like they're told to or keeping their distance?
I had 4 carriers in my fleet, all run out of CR rating and what do they do? They sit there, facing the enemy, occasionally flying towards them instead of retreating, I literally gave the retreat with haste, they still sat there like an incompetent ant who lost their way and thinks a leaf is going to protect it from an anteater.
I'm blowing my steam off because I see this ineptitude from even Timid commanders, especially Aggressive commanders who get put in Mora's, they instead go jack off to some other area instead of being the bullet sponges, and completely the reverse for timid commanders.
It bloody irritates the ever loving tick off of me and here I am blowing my steam off.
This may come off as ignorant, but have you experienced this? This is at least the 40th time this has happened. And it goes for BOTH sides of the battlefield.
Oh, and something I forgot, they need to literally been taken control of to get them to retreat.
