| Summary | 0005998: FRD melee ships only going for the same target? | ||||
| Description | It has been a very long time since I've tried melee ships, but do they always focus on a single target even with other ships and such around? I have a space dock with cutlasses being FRD rallied into the planet in the image, but they're all going straight to the command station shield guard post, which is largely undesirable due to their 0.01 multiplier and especially because there are ships on the planet. I think this happened when the first planet was cleared off of other targets and they started to attack it, with the new ones focusing on it because it was already damaged despire more AI ships spawning. A general change to their behavior to force them to re-check for more optimal targets every some interval would be appreciated. | ||||

Shouldn't ships already be avoiding things that it has only a .01x multiplier on, even if there are other ships of the same type nearby that are attacking it, because it would hurt DPS that badly? Or does the copy the "target list" optimisation not care about how good or bad the original choice for the first ship to get a target was? |

I tried to explain the circumstance that caused this in the OP (poorly); basically, I think what happened was that they first cleared off the entire planet of everything but the 0.01x multiplier stuff. Then they got locked in at solely attacking that, even the new FRD cutlasses coming in, despite new targets spawning on the planet. IIRC they also frequently get caught up with attacking forcefields; same circumstance. |
