[0.9a RC9] Joining an assault on a station
« on: December 10, 2018, 04:41:43 AM »

Tried this with both Hegemony and Pirate attackers on a Persean League station, and it kept causing the station to retreat and the attackers would harry.
As soon as I left the station alone and stopped trying to join the assault, it got consumed in the vast cloud of pirates.
There was a second station in the system, and I joined the assault on it, and this time the attackers pursued meaning I could also pursue. Risk-free too, with my second in command.

In short, lone stations are allowed to attempt to retreat if the player joined in an ongoing attack, and what happens from there is up to the original attackers.

Also I think the pirate raids might be a little much, several hundred ships against a poorly defended system doesn't give me anything to do in the raid besides rain marines down on unguarded planets since all PL fleets are aggressively purged from the system.

Thank you! Made a note.

(Yeah, I've toned down the high-end pirate raids significantly, just too many ships.)
