Is the issue of the AI meta game griefing players by milking CR with 2 minutes of kiting at the end of a fight big fights being addressed?

If the enemy can't win they should be retreating and not doing this.

Are you seeing this happen in a fight vs enemies that actually can retreat (i.e. normal faction fleets, not remnants or derelicts)? If so: about how long was the fight? The AI should in fact retreat when it gets to that kind of position, but I could see it happening say if it had a reasonable number of frigates left, or if the fight up to that point was extremely quick. It's really hard to say without seeing a specific battle.

(In the meantime, carriers help take care of this, btw. Or just faster ships.)

Bounty fights, Pirates.

I usually have more fast ships but my fleet is a flying wreck after a number of bad fights. It's happened the last few battles (I've seen it many times before however) but it occurred to me I should ask. I'm aware Redacted won't retreat, unless you let your second in command lead in which case they can sometimes retreat from the auto battle (Is that a bug?).

I had a long battle with pirates massive fleets both sides and a wolf (the only ship left on their side) kited me the length of the map 3 times (following the edge) till a lucky missile disabled his engines. The bounty I just did had a similar case with a Kite shuttle, they lost the first battle and this was the follow up.

Might just be bad luck.

Thank you for bringing it up, I'll check into it.

(Yeah, bit of a bug as far as the remnants auto-resolve...)
