| Summary | 0002305: Artillery Golem with auto-kiting enabled leads to bad behavior | ||||
| Description | Since auto-kiting tries to send ships to effective range -500 away from their target, the Artillery Golem will try to fly to 1,002,500 (miles? meters? furlongs? Where are the units? Your physics teacher would slap your hand for that!) units of distance away before firing on its target. Needless to say, at the speed that it flies it will get to its effective range some time around the release of AI War 2. :P I'm not sure if there are any other extreme range mobile units like this, but I'm sure they'd have the same problem. | ||||

I don't think they will auto-kite beyond a certain distance from the center of the planet. Thus, they won't fly several AUs away. Still, REALLY long range stuff currently is a little awkward to use with auto-kiting. Another complaint is that auto-kiting currently doesn't take radar-dampening into consideration. Thus, auto-kiting may very well keep a unit from actually even being able to hit what it is trying to target. |

Thanks! * Ships with more than 60k range are no longer able to auto-kite, because this leads them to trying to keep more than a planet's distance between them and the enemy. |
