Slapped a shield shunt on a Onslaught, run a simulation against a Dominator with both under AI control. The player AI controlled Onslaught is flying like drunk, swinging back and forth failing to fire more then missiles and point defense. The other ship flies and fights normally.
Do the same thing again this time against another Onslaught. Again the Player controlled AI is drunk swinging wildly back and forth unable to center and fire on the enemy while the enemy AI sits head on and showers my drunk Player AI with death till it explodes.
I've seen this before with other big ships in real fights, 100% of the time when under player AI control, never seen it happen under enemy AI control. Never been able to identify or get it to repeat like this. Doctrine is set to reckless, Full assault On, Auto pilot engaged (no captain), if that matters. No mods installed and never had mods installed. Is this a bug or am I indirectly causing this somehow? Maybe a specific problem to Engage Auto pilot AI?
It reaches the engagement normally then the problem starts.
Just tested it 1v1 on a station and it tried, not for long, to wobble before getting wrecked. Does Shield Shunt alter AI behavior?
