Fighters behavior
« on: November 24, 2015, 09:25:12 AM »

Good day,
Im wondering if someones knows the way to change behavior of fighters (or any other ship) in combat. The thing I want to do is make fighters move kinda like modern fighters, not strafing all the time but moving with constant speed to the target, then making another run and so on. Is is easy modable?

Sadly, no.  I've tried doing this myself and it would require coding an entirely new AI from scratch.

The closest a person could come is giving the fighter in question a ship system that disabled strafing, like Full Burn, but it doesn't work properly with fighters and thus doesn't actually disable strafe movement.
