Bug Reports & Support / Mismatch between map and battle speed
« on: September 15, 2013, 05:24:07 PM »
I was torn between suggestions, discussion or bug report, but this does feel like a game-breaking issue.
I have a fleet consisting of ships with a burn speed of 4. With +2 from character traits I can easily catch enemy fleets with a burn speed of 4.
However, when I engage them in combat they immediately flee and I get a pursuit mission. My ships are about the same speed so I cannot catch them and they escape. I harry them to 0% CR but they still outrun my ships on the combat map.
My fleet can easily keep up with their fleet, but I cannot force an engagement and so I cannot defeat them. This mismatch between my ability to overtake them on the map but inability to get into weapons range in combat is very odd.
