[0.9a RC10] Friendly AI fleets disengaging when I join battle in progress
« on: November 23, 2018, 06:38:04 PM »
- 2 Persean League fleets (+ station) vs 1 small Pirate fleet.
- The Perseans attacked the Pirates
- If I leave them to their own devices, they'll kill many of them. (presumably the auto-resolve causes the Pirates to flee, and the Perseans pursue)
- If I join the battle, they'll immediately allow the Pirates to disengage without chasing them down.

Save here:

Perhaps AI's decision to pursue isn't working properly when they massively overwhelm, as they do when I join the battle?

This is an old issue since 0.8. When two AI fleets duke it out and you approach with an overwhelming force that would have made the hostile fleet flee, the friendly AI will change mode and suddenly let them leave, where they would have fought before.
