Summary0003205: Gatling patrol and assist
DescriptionThis seems to be a similar issue to using redirect rally points

When Dyson Gatlings are patroling and their outer patrol worlds have only one entry, they do not stick around long enough to notice worlds adjacent to that world having high threat or an attack force. I have a save attached to demonstrate (Sphere on Boatsho, attack force on Voashgio)

Somewhat related... could dyson gatlings, minor factions, etc. be permitted to patrol through a single AI world, so they could travel between 2 clusters of friendly worlds?

My current game has a dyson sphere, one of my planets next to it, 3 AI planets, and than the rest of my empire .. see the screen shot.
The upper-right part had over 200 gatlings at one point when I wanted to use them to counter a counter-attack.

Not saying it wouldnt be nice if the gatlings could already see my empire be split in ½, but honostly said you can already make them behave like this, and automating it means I can no longer keep them at some "1 planet empire"(as also is illustrated on the screeny).


edit: sorry, forget to mention how to work with them .. build a rally point, normal or redirector doesnt matter. They go there and based on the rally point setting behave in slightly different ways.

@Red Spot

Cool, I have seen them go for my own rally points sometimes, but I never thought to try it with a re-director rally post. Thanks for the tip. :D

Now let's see how long it takes them to patch that "exploit" :P

I noticed later on in the same game, after one of the core planets went over 100 threat, zombies and dyson gatlings did attack (and failed horribly) but when I refilled the zombies and went on attack, they did not assist me.
