Summary0014241: Players being kited easily by enemy flagships
DescriptionI'm seeing this particular complaint show up in multiple places such as the Steam forums, so I'm listing it here. Seems that ships fleeing the player are just too difficult to catch up with, so they can kite the player endlessly.

Considering the nature of some of the mission types, I'm guessing that this can rather break things pretty badly, in addition to just being very frustrating.

I dunno what to suggest for this one, I've not run into it myself. I'm guessing it's probably common mostly on the lower difficulties?

I've seen this a lot. It essentially makes some missions impossible unless you have afterburner and set engines to full power.

This should have been fixed in 1.003, so let me know if you still see it!

Acutian Executors really love to do this, but not trying to give chase usually means they'll come within firing range.

Thanks!

* Boarine Tuskers, Thoraxian Exterminators, Acutian Executors, and Boarine Tuskers have had their ship speeds reduced to avoid kiting players.
