It's massively improved over version 1,1.1 and 1.2.
The multiple ship fighter patrol now works beautifully and the shipds no longer get seperated when OOS. Extract from the readme......
" You will now have two extra commands in the menu's of any ships that have 'Fight Command Software MK2 installed'. These are......
1) Assign As Wingman
2) Start Multiple Sector Patrol
If all you want to do is have a single ship patroling through the 6 sectors you have chosen, just run this command from the ships command menu, select the 6 sectors you want to patrol and the 3 races that are to be attacked on sight (you can choose a race more than once if say your only interested in Khaak, or perhaps just Pirates). You ship will then go off and start patroling. I'd recomend you don't use anything less that an m6 if your engaging Khaak.
This however is where it really get fun!!!!
What happens if you cant afford a fully loaded m6 but have a surplus of smaller ships lying around???? heheehe... you create a multiple ship fighter patrol!!
Just set up your biggest, most powerfull ship as the 'leader' (run the 'Start multiple sector patrol' on it and set it to patrol as above). Then on each of the other ships you want to join in the patrol run the 'Assign As Wingman' command and select the 'leader' as the ship runing the 'Start multiple sector patrol' command.
They don't just protect the 'leader', they actively check to see if the leader has targeted anything then if it has they will attack it too. The'll then revert to protecting the 'leader' when it hasn't targeted any ships.
There is no limit to the number of ships that can be assigned as wingmen to a ship. You can also use the 'assign as wingman' command to protect your transports, or assign a wingman/wingmen to your personal ship.
Enjoy"
