Wings don't stay together

Post by Depleted »

So i use a nemesis vanguard and i bought two more, one is a missile boat and the other is a auto bolt boat with tracking launcher like myself, our engines and thrust units are the same, i ordered both to escort my ship which created a wing and they fly with me in formation but when i activate boost or travel mode they don't so they lag behind and occasionally you can see them engage travel mode, but it's never in sync with me so they're always far behind going along at cruise speed which is 450m/s.
Are wings broken at the moment or are they not designed to sync up with you?

Having the same problem and came here to look for it.

For me, wings won't even stay together when it's a wing I don't control. Made a trader and thought I'd give him some fighter escorts but they just run ahead of my trade ship to the target station. Tried switching to different formations but all they do is "Fly and wait"

I've set fighters to Protect the trader and miner ships, they follow them, but they too don't fly together in sync so the lead ship can get attacked by pirates and the protecting ship is typically lagging behind instead.
I think the system needs fine tuning for synchronised flight and having the ai stick with each other and yourself.

+1

v 1.31 Beta 1 (GOG) - Wing NPC members don't use normal engines, start travel mode at ~50+ KM distance, sometimes use only fraction of max travel mode speed.

*Edit:
Somehow made it to work. Sadly i've lost the save where it was broken, so i cannot recreate the problem, but i believe that "Remove all orders" from all wing members helped.
