Odd Support Ship Behaviour - Fix in a future build

[Scoob]

Hey all,

So, I just bought my first Nomad Support ship in 2.5. I sent it to a sector where I have other ships patrolling and the odd behaviour started.

Bear in mind I have "Automatic Resupply" off globally...

Not long after the Nomad arrived in sector my Odysseus decided it wanted to dock at it for repairs. Why? I cancelled this order, it's needed to patrol the area. I look away for a short while and it's evidently added the dock order again as I see the Odysseus saying it's just undocking!

Looking at the Nomad, it has an order added to it saying "undock", yet it's simply parked in space...what's it undocking from?

Automatic repair and resupply behaviour would be GREAT, but not now, I want my ships to stay on-task, yet they're trying to dock at the Nomad.

Is this a bug, are there other settings outside of "Automatic Resupply" that affect this behaviour? If a support ship being nearby causes ships to stop doing what they're told...well, it's pointless having it around, which is a shame.

Furthermore, when I do manually order a ship to dock, things don't appear to be working as I'd expect there either. For example, I unequipped a load of random Consumables on several of my docked ships, assuming the component parts would be broken down and added to the Nomad's inventory - I've seen this happen in a prior game. However, this time, despite removing a LOT of Consumables, I've gain precisely nothing. Bug?

Normal based on my experience. I don't use resupply ships I just gave up. Carriers are better in my opinion.

Might be normal, but surely not intended? I mean, I've explicitly said NOT to automatically re-supply. Also, I'd have thought Hull Parts would be needed to repair hulls. It seems that while I wasn't looking several of my ships repaired themselves. This is GOOD if it's what I'd set to happen, but it wasn't.

I think these ships are still an incomplete feature currently. Plus they're a bit broken as materials are now lost when unequipping a docked ship.

Missed prohibiting automatic repair. Fixed. Should be in a future update.

Cool, thank you
