[4.10] Severe issues with formations

Post by cheetah2003 » Mon, 20. Sep 21, 09:53

The formations mechanic is pretty much broken. Ships outrun their commander, drift out of formation, and generally just don't behave.

The only time I see formations actually working is when the commanding ship is not moving.

It's very frustrating to say the least, if y'all could work on it, that'd be great.

It's highly frustrating to tell a fleet to attack, and the lead ship goes in alone cuz the escorts are just twiddling their thumbs and not moving, and/or not staying in formation.

Along the same lines, the fleet mechanics of target engagement is very bad. In defensive role for subordinates: A lead ship can engage a hostile group of ships and the escorts do nothing until the lead ship takes a hit. The attack role is terrible too, they won't boost to the targets and leave the lead ship to fight alone. It's maddening.

Plllleaasssee fix. Thanks!
