Summary0019677: Auxilary Units have very poor range and speed until matching unit type is MK4
DescriptionImages show the difference. Range and speed appear to be about a third of normal. Upgrading the relevant unit to MK4 seems to fix this, but only because it stops building Auxilary versions, and instead builds the normal, proper ones (sharing the cap, no reason to build more expensives).

Also, their tooltips for attack bonuses are outdated.

Just quickly tested, Auxilaries do not show up as a different unit type on the side bar. They also interfere with Group Move by slowing everything else down to a crawl. This effectively prohibits you from using Group Move and sidebar selection together, if you have a single Auxilary unit, currently.

Update, thanks to Badger finding that units have a line inheriting balance data from elsewhere. It seems that auxiliary units do this as well, but the target file may not be filled out, so they seem to be defaulting to base range and speed. I'd imagine putting the same range and speed values as normal units into those files would fix this, minor as it may be.

Last update: In KDL_Ships_FleetShips, Auxiliary units are drawing data from the OverrideBalanceData file, but specify AuxiliaryFighter, etc as target, while the targets are actually named MercenaryFighter, etc. Altering the name corrects the speed and range. However, the units will then get absurd health/damage/cost. This seems to be a multiplier from the Auxil Dock itself, now working on the updated values.

Auxilliaries have been removed from the game due to "Mostly being confusing to players and not doing anything useful"
