Summary0022447: AI seems to "waffle" about where ships are going
DescriptionPlease see attached save game.

I will go into a planet with one of my wandering fleets (for example, Strike Beta, hotkey 2 in the attached save). The AI will attack me, head to the command station, or head for one of the wormholes, depending on what it wants to do (can't say). However, much of the time, and especially with their larger ships, I see the ships start moving one way (e.g., toward a wormhole), then a few seconds later start moving another way (e.g., toward the command station), and then again the other way. I have noticed this a lot in the last hour or so, in several different planets. It seems the AI is changing it's mind about the tactics for the ships on that planet back and forth several times in a matter of 5-10 second intervals. This, of course, feels very unrealistic and also lets me pick off the waffling ships since my large Siege ships move very slowly.

Thought you might want to know this and see if you can replicate it on the save.

Example from the attached save FUTURE:

1. Use Strike Beta to destroy all forces in current planet
2. Go planet by planet loading, moving, unloading, destroying (pursuit mode is fine), until you get to Jewelyn 13
3. There, watch the large ships (various Guardians) move to attack from the AI Command Station and then move back, several times, and other similar waffling. This would take only a few minutes of game time to see. (I see it at 8h 56m 25s.)

This continues in v1.304...

See system Tolsvag. Two Raider Mk 1 go back and forth trying to decide what to do about my two ships transiting their space. (Only one in there when I thought to save it.)
