• Custom AI: A group of ships assigned to the same Rally Task Force objective will form a line abreast, provided the objective is placed near the centerline of the map.
• Custom AI: Fixed a bug where a ship captain's personality in the campaign layer could be changed to aggressive after a battle. Reported by Lelboihi.

Hello
Any chance that you will look into shield less ships hugging enemy close to death behavior?>
My ships often get lost especially when big ship explode.
Option to reduce or turn off explosion damage(or maybe make ship only explode when breaking) would be greatly appreciated.

I won't modify the game mechanics by disabling the explosions damage, but I can look into the AI.

I'll add your idea to the backlog. Unfortunately, with how slow the development is going, I don't think I'll be working on it soon.

I found solution. I used the xisting Hullmod that reduced death explosion radius and damage and reduced damage ro 1%. Slapped it on all ships outside tankers. Much better now.

Hey Genir, can you try downloading from your link? It's probably nothing, I'm just not used to warnings on Starsector mods. Firefox security is worried about the newness of the file but I've never seen that on a repo link.

[tantananan]

I'm using the latest version. Looks like search and destroy is causing a crash.

edit: i was using it on the Arkas phase cruiser from RAT with an AI core officer.

v2.1.4 is out. Download

Changes:

• Custom AI: Fixed a bug where ships with an active Temporal Shell system behaved far more aggressively than intended.
• Autofire AI: Fixed a bug where Voidblaster was firing at targets beyond its effective range.
• Autofire AI: Fixed a bug that prevented beam weapons from firing at very small PD targets in some situations.
• Autofire AI: Improved target selection logic for obligatory anti-armor weapons like the Voidblaster. They are now better at identifying opportunities to bypass enemy ship shields.
• Autofire AI: It's now possible to configure staggered fire cycle threshold via LunaLib settings.
• Fixed a bug where ships with the Search and Destroy hullmod could lose their initial assignment.
• Fixed a NullPointerException caused by the Search and Destroy hullmod attempting to give orders to ships without an associated DeployedFleetMember object. Reported by tantananan.
• Player Assist: Fixed a bug where Shield Assist attempted to control shields on certain phase ships, such as the RAT Gilgamesh. Reported by ?ios the Catweeb.

Could you add a feature for ships to use Termination Sequence? In vanilla game they sometimes decide to not use it despite having low flux and 100% fighters rate. I had plenty situations where few tempest were just dancing around bigger ship not doing anything.
At low flux and 100% fighters rate they should just "waste" one drone.

That's an interesting request. Usually players want to save the drones for PD duty alone. I'm not sure how to balance it both ways.

Doesn't Advanced Gunnery Control have a simillar feature already?

I do use Advanced Gunnery Control but it can just spam them as soon as they are constructed.

I propose these conditions: 100% FR, all drones operational, flux < 20%, and either if replacement rate is at least 50% faster than default or just if player character has "Carrier Group" skill.

Sorry, I didn't notice your message.

AI Tweaks sometimes triggers Windows Defender, not sure why. Time to add Firefox Security to the collection, I guess 

I didn't put any malware in the code. The mod is open source, so there's always the option to build the jars yourself, if you're worried.

I think this change will be rather unpopular with most players. They prefer to hoard the drones.

I'll delegate you once more to Advanced Gunnery Control. In contrast to AI Tweaks, it's specifically designed to be fine-tuneable. You'll need to ask DesperatePeter to implement a new AI tag with the behavior you described above.

v2.1.5 is out. Download

Changes:

• Autofire AI: Fixed another bug where Voidblaster was firing at targets beyond its effective range.
• Added Skirmisher hullmod. A ship with the hullmod will operate on the outskirts of the battlefield, engaging targets of opportunity.
• Custom AI: Improved logic for disengaging due to high flux levels - ships now typically disengage sooner.
• Autofire AI: In Incursion mode, the Voidblaster on Assault Units will now use spare ammo to fire at shields.

I don't know how i should feel about this. Using custom AI just makes destroyers suicide instantly into the enemy fleet. 0 self preservance, they just instantly charge capitals and die. Without it, they play a lot safer and and more strategically. When switching the default aggresive to timid they don't do anything.

Thanks for the feedback.

That's one of the WIP aspects of the Custom AI. It will just engage, no matter what.

I don't really use destroyers. In my opinion they are pretty worthless (at least vanilla ones, not sure about modded), so I didn't test Custom AI on them extensively. For now, if Custom AI hullmod doesn't work for you, better stick to vanilla AI.

[Deathawaits4]

Okay i understand. I actually find them very usefull as part of the wolfpack mechanic + Ship mastery system and second in command with the smallcraft skills. It is very very strong and i could easily just auto play with mediocre frigattes + destroyers and win against fleets double my FP. I'll stick to vanilla AI for now, the weapon and autofire changes are actually very good.

[Arisaka]

Has anybody else had issues with rift lightning? I fitted my Eagles with it and had the displeasure of discovering that they don’t want to fire on the enemy. Is there some setting I can tweak to correct this or is it unintended behaviour?
