[#1487]6.2 BUG Raptor sending Intercept Fighters to attack target, fighters are set to docked - Fix in a future build.

[Elusive13]

6.2
English
Unmodded
Custom start
I have 3 wings of fighters in my Raptors fleet and they are all set to interception. When I tell the Raptor to do a coordinated attack on a Xenon station it sends the fighters to attack as well. I also set the fighters to docked in the Raptor loadout and it still sends them to attack. I've attacked a Xenon warf and a Xenon Defense Platform and it happens with both of them. The fighters are different in each group, one is Kyds (Eta Group), one is Shihs (Theta Group), and the other is Luxs(Iota Group). There are no enemy ships out when they first attack the station. I assume they shouldnt attack unless there are fighters, and they shouldnt even be launched when i have them set to docked.
System is Wretched Skies IV Family Valka.

Fixed. Thanks for the report. Fix should be in a future update.

Just another note on this ..

I had a Boron Shark as fleet leader, 2 x Rays in group Alpha both set to Attack with Commander, and 60 x Barracuda set to Defend commander in Beta Group.
I also had 4 x Thresher docked at the M Docks (purely providing extra turrets for the Shark, all of the Thresher turrets set to Attack all enemies).

Whenever I ordered the Shark to either Attack, or Coordinate attack on a Xenon station, the fighters would launch and start attacking the station before anyone in the fleet came within range of the station (so the fleet was not yet being attacked by station turrets or drones).

When the Barracudas are set to defend, this is not expected behaviour.

It wasn't an ideal fleet to go at Xenon stations, I was just experimenting with how a Sharks fleet would behave.

Anyway I mention it in case the Fighters being set to Defend is a different script issue not already fixed.

1) Can you also make any subordinate groups set to "Docked" in "Loadout" do not auto participate in boarding?

2) "Coordinate attack" needs an improvement. Ideally only "Attack with commander" groups should participate. Its really annoying that the group set to "intercept" (to offer some cover against incoming fighters) do attack station instead.

By that logic "Docked" ships participating in "Coordinated attack" isn't the bug too. And had to be rejected.
Both clauses are bugs. "Improvement" word doesn't mean I consider it as intended behavior.

You not liking something doesn't make it a bug. Thread locked since this discussion does NOT belong here.
