AI sometimes veer to the bottom left at the start
« on: May 03, 2012, 05:37:17 PM »

When a ship enters the field it occasionally turns to the bottom left of the battle area and just goes in that direction (under search and destroy) instead of advancing forward like they usually do. I've had this happen with both a talon fighter wing and an odyssey so far.

I have as well. I think it's just exploration spread since the AI can no longer cheat it's way across the map with perfect AI vision.

Yep, it's exploring. The "Search" part of S&D. Could be a bit smarter about it, of course.
