Ships still following, any fix?

Post by StormMagi »

All of my ships are STILL following me in 1.18 even when they are not in my squad. I thought this was supposed to have been fixed a couple patches ago, it is getting damned annoying to park ships in zones i want only to have them follow me repeatedly. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried removing them from your squad, adding them again, and then removing them a second time? I seem to remember seeing reports that this sequence triggered the now-fixed behaviour.

Pre 1.18 the method CBJ described worked for me.

Yes, they have all (Hybrid Rahanas, Taranis, Story CV and regular CV) been added and removed several times but still follow unless they are in the middle of trade orders.

Does not work for me. Tried this multiple times.

I also lost 5 freighters already, because the damn things were kept jumping after me into hostile sectors.

ok i know why it was not working for me.
I had "Improved fleets" mod enabled, i disabled it, edited the save file to make it combatible, and it works now.

can't confirm this, for me removing from squad is stop following,

actually it deletes orders slightly too well:
when trade report from fedhelm appeared I ordered him to mine ore here and removed from squad, it completed station undocking and ... do NOTHING, so I had forced to return to zone, add to squad, and repeat order to mine ore, remove from squad.

that stupid simplification (instead of go to zone, trade with station, mine in zone -> add to squad, do work here, remove from squad) only complicates things and not allowing to do something in other part of galaxy, because adding to squad forces ship to follow you, even work for him near himself, NOT near player ship.

p.s. As far as I know manager ZONE limitation still not working properly (because was never fixed), so I fear to give ships to managers, because in case of manager sending your mining ship sectors away from station in enemy territory WITHOUT FUEL, you need to fly to that ship, ask him join to squad ....
(remote link is not accessible), if you add to that, that somebody decided to limit player movement through omicron gate in some point of plot, you will see how much that is looking BAD.

Im watching this right now. Jumped to near empty space with my destroyer. This is what im seeing.

Destroyer next to me.

Going 15km from destroy with captain on follow skunk.

Destroyer is 15km from me with engines on full, you see the engine burn but acts like it is stuck on some thing will not move at all. Engine speed shows 2,000 m/s.

Told destroyer to leave squad, still stuck in same spot 2000 m/s.

Told destroyer join squad, Still stuck same spot 2000m/s.

Saved, exit game then reload.. again stuck same spot 2000 m/s.

Completely exit the game and reload, still stuck same spot 2000 m/s.

Less than 1km to destroyer stuck at 2000 m/s.

Ok changing area.

Highway to a new area few objects in system.

Destroyer now shows moving at 80 m/s, not warping to me.. acts like its following a highway but taking FOREVER. (I only moved over 1 system)

Running the steam beta patch 1.19 and no mods.

Maybe moving away from a destroyer before the warp cycle switches from warping to standard speed following breaks something? I dunno.

Again

Destroyer warps to system, cruises to me 80 ms

stops under me.. is still 80 ms

I move 30km out... destroyer stuck 80ms, dosent turn or anything.

I have the issues with the following behavior too.
This annoying bug is what pissed me off most about the game in the first place. Will try reinstalling mods and see if they can fix it (e.g. Manual Commands Extension).
