Astral with eliminate assignment avoids fight
« on: May 14, 2017, 02:46:34 AM »
It was just back paddling further and further, with the fighters long out of range. Officer is steady.

I can't reproduce this now. At the time it was aggravating, caused me to lose the fight.

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.

I've also observed ally fleet Astrals hanging well back from the fight, although I had no way of telling what orders (if any) they had.

I cannot for the life of me understand the fighter ranges. They always seem to return to the carrier just as they're about to reach firing range on that fleeing frigate.

Also, torpedo bombers will always fire at shields if they can. They're very stupid.
