| Summary | 0001763: Scout Starship Auto-Explore | ||||
| Description | For some reason after the entire galaxy is explored, the starships all return to a player homeworld (if multiple players/homeworlds, all will congregate on the same planet) and cease exploring rather than continuing to get updates to planets that haven't been explored in a while. | ||||

There is actually logic for it to explore stuff that hasn't been explored in like an hour, I think. Are you saying that the scout starships are actually behaving differently than other scouts? |
|
|
We weren't using normal scouts on auto-explore as they'd just get shot up, just Scout Starship Mk4s. And once they went back to a player home [i]never moved again[/i], not even an hour later. |
|
|
That's probably because of some logic to automatically shut off auto-explore when there's nothing left to explore. |
|
|
But they were still in auto-explore mode (the FRD colored outline). So is this working as intended, or? In any case, the behavior was not what was expected. |
|
|
Would it be possible/easy to simply make the scouts go to the planet with the longest "last scouted" time, even if it's lower than an hour? Might as well keep those scouts busy instead of just sitting around... |
