6.0 Beta 6 = My issue is solvedalt3rn1ty wrote: ↑Thu, 23. Feb 23, 02:44Can we have all subordinates return to the carrier when we issue the command to the carrier "Stop Position Defence".
At the moment (6.0 Beta 4), I tried a Raptor with 40 Chimeras. The 40 are split into 4 groups 10 in each Alpha/Beta/Gamma/Delta, and each group is an "Attack with Commander" group.
Give the order "Start Position Defence", and then I get 4 group circles to place accordingly.
Problem is, if we now issue "Stop Position Defence", the fighter groups get renamed Alpha etcetera, but not what they originally were ie Alpha Attack, so they all need manually changing to groups we want them to be in again.
Also the group circles vanish from the map, but the fighters remain where they are with little defence icons, as if they are still on Position Defence and the group circles are still there, and do not return to the Raptor carrier.
I am guessing this may be a bit of a tall order in that you cant anticipate how the player may have given different orders while they were in Position Defence, but it just feels weird having given the "Stop Position Defence" command and all your fighters stay where they are and no longer have a useful grouping on the carrier which they originally had, so it all needs setup again.
Overall though, Position Defence is a good idea, I liked parking my Raptors in the middle of a few sectors where mining is happening and occasionally has visits from little Kha'ak groups .. Now they get swarmed by 40 Chimeras who return to their relative group circle areas on completion of stomping the Kha'ak
I havent seen any fighters return to the carrier for repairs, but thats probably due to none of them needing it yet.
After selecting .. CG Raptor Mod 1, and assigning Defend Position .. Then dragging out the 4 (Groups of fighters) to needed positions .. Then right click CG Raptor Mod 1, and selecting "Stop position defence" .. The fighters then return to the carrier .. And assume their previous role as Interceptors for the carrier.
