AI auto retreat
« on: August 18, 2012, 11:36:33 PM »
I'm just thinking... it would be nice if ships would retreat on their own (without being ordered) if they're under too heavy fire and they're too damaged...

Would be a nice bit of extra independence from the AI captains, this then can be integrated to officer personality if and when it gets implemented...

thoughts?

I agree. Even better would be for AI not charging to attack with high flux level and not to ram his targets :]

Yes, but a lot of the obvious stuff I have suggested is in 'Compilation' topics that I make about once a week.  My 'Advanced Fleet Commands' topic has a section dedicated so auto-retreat times.

It doesn't add anything to the discussion to say 'suggested this before' unless you include a link to that page so that people can read the points. But with a lot of compilations (not just yours) there are so many ideas that there isn't any discussion about many of the points - for example there wasn't any discussion on auto retreat in your thread other than the initial post. Individual posts like this one serve better, imo.

I think it would be really nice to have the AI retreat on its own... and for me to start yelling at my cowardly captain who bailed when I needed more fire support. :P

In short, if you throw a stone out of the rear window of your spaceship you will go faster.
