Right now the Pugs seem to be very interested in spamming their Wisp launchers but not actually shooting at things, even when their parent ship is very close to the enemy.

It might be worse on larger ships, if their leashing range is calculated from the middle of the ship, as their own carrier's sprite is itself occupying a lot of their useable range. At least when they are being used by an AI-controlled ship (since a lot of those like to stay with a little bit of distance, this is very obvious, since the ship will be shooting with its forward weapons while its Pugs just sit by the side).
They are basically extended PD systems, not really made to go on the offensive, but i could increase the operational range a bit.

Maybe make it based on the boundingradius of the carrier + margin? Never run into that problem again with any shipsize :)

Ah dang forgot that you would probably have to make it a custom ai for that. :/

The Dobermann is a good ship, but the ai piloting it is atrociously bad. It often never properly gets into range of enemies and turns the whole ship to face mines instead of just shifting the omni shield. Also i can never deploy the Dobermann in large scale or concentrated fleet battles because of the ai's conservative positioning, making it ass blast friendlies from the backlines when the ai decides to unleash 'Grand Salvo'.

Yeah this is a problem with the game's AI not being good enough with Broadsiders, i will eventually have to make custom AI for it... sorry there is no easy fix for this right now.

All of these look wonderful, but I'm having trouble actually finding a place where I can get independent ships
My current Nex game doesn't have any independent bases, and independents don't offer commissions, so I can't join them and conquer military bases for them (and without a commission I'm pretty sure I can't buy the bigger ships anyway).
Far as I can tell, prism is the only place where I can find this stuff, but so far, I haven't found anything but the pirate ships. Needless to say, I want that big scary one for inspecting the interiors of hegemony ships next time they inspect me for AI cores >=D

You don't need commissions to buy independent ships, Nex doesn't remove any independent bases as far as i know, and it even adds the Prism Freeport that is also independent. Just look for Ind Military planets, there are a few. you can also find blueprints for all my ships and weapons in ruins and such.

Ed, i think the collie, the little swap frigate has too much OP

70 OP makes it possible to slap all the defensive hullmods on there even if i try my hardest to fill it with a 8 OP drone fighter and the heaviest PD i can find

You are supposed to put those expensive support hullmods in it

Is it too late to bring your attention to the nuance of a Chihuahua being killed non-stop?
It seems that friendly ships ignore decoys, what in turn leads to real_ship jumping into friendly fire to get away from enemy even weakest shot, and with it's fragility, to be obliterated.
Maybe it's possible to make it so that ship not so instantly switches place with decoy, kinda fade after being shot and kinda re-emerges in a decoy spot, and fading state keeps it being transparent to shots (and not being able to do it's own ofc) but real_ship projects it's "i'm real, don't shoot me" info-state as soon as it switches to decoy?
Theoretically, I do realise complexity for such a change but I can't think of anything else, thing you've made are nice and problemless as is.

Hum that is probably going to end up needing custom ship AI (massive pain to make), i will check the system AI to see if i can solve it in there.
-edit-
Good news, the incoming damage calculation was ignoring friendly projectiles, and now it takes them in consideration, this should help a lot.
