| Summary | 0003842: Attack-move across planets don't work | ||||
| Description | If you send a fleet on an attack-move across several planets, it moves in a straight line through the planets and won't actually chase enemy ships until it ends up on the final planet. This makes cleaning planets up a tad harder than it needs to be, and it also majorly messes up patrols from redirectional rally posts. | ||||

After some more consideration, I'm bumping this up to major. It just makes it a lot harder for me to play than it should be. |

I didn't notice the issue with attack move, but I did with FRD. Normally, I build turrets in systems that get harassed, but it's not effective when cleaning up against a large attack force. |

Yeah, this is odd since FRD works the opposite I believe. Or maybe it doesn't. I know if I FRD to another planet, my ships will fight stuff on their current planet first before leaving. I just assumed this meant they kept their FRD status across multiple planets. But I guess it could be they have it on the initial planet, lose it in between, and gain it again at the destination. Is that how attack-move is working for you? Will it attack enemies on the current planet and destination planet, but not inbetween? Actually, it seems a bit odd that you are using attack-move instead of FRD for this. If you are clearing your own planets of stray enemies, wouldn't FRD be what you want? Attack-move wouldn't attack enemies that didn't get too close to your units as they pathed through systems. |

Hmm. Might be meaning FRD-move, yeah. Either way, I v-rightclick to move. And they correctly spread out and attack things at the target planet, but they don't spread out in the planets inbetween. |

Uploaded a screenshot to demonstrate. The fleet is moving between Tican and a planet beyond Dincuis. |

Yeah, V is the default FRD button, not attack-move. And the pink outline is the FRD color so you definately used FRD. Yellow is the attack-move color (and X is the default button for that). You should edit this and change the title to indicate FRD is the problem. Also, if you can add a save that shows the problem. Maybe within units en route on FRD where they pass through a system as shown on your screenshot. It may seem like this kind of thing is easy to setup, but a save with everything ready-to-go lets them see the problem in just a few seconds. |
