Summary0023396: Melee ships when on "attack-move" command (x) don't actually attack things.
DescriptionShips on attack-move command get new targets once their old one is dead or outside range. Melee ships however, since they have 0 range, don't attack anything and just stand still. It's really annoying, because I have to either manually target (hundreds) of individual ships, or use the attack-roam mode (v) to let them go after targets, but then they go to far and get killed, or kill things I don't wanna kill, or activate reinforcements, etc.

My suggestion is to give the melee ships a small range when considering possible targets, something like 2/3 of a v-wing range. This way, they'll at least attack targets nearby without the need to manually click each individual target.

They perform better when "Attack methodically" is turned off in the options.

That's how it went for my last Melee-focused game. Otherwise they indeed are terrible. Even with the option off I do often see 7-8 seconds since last shot fired on metabolism saws.

Is this still happening on the most recent patch?

I tested it, and it seems it's improved.
