Battle Entry Positioning
« on: April 02, 2013, 07:28:21 PM »

I don't know how this is going to be affected by the new mechanics being introduced in .6 but I'm having issues with ships running into each other when they're first deployed onto the map. This is especially prominent in the mods (it might not happen in vanilla gameplay I'm not sure to be honest) but the ships being somewhat close together combined with the AI instantly triggering certain abilities (Blackrock Drive's Burst Maneuvering Jets) means I keep taking damage from ships running into each other. I don't expect you to change the AI based on behavior from a mod, but I was curious if anyone had had this come up in vanilla and if there is any solution other than sending out ships in clumps rather than all at once

The deployment will be completely changed in the next version, all ships will enter the map with burn drive. If collisions will still occur then remains to be seen.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
