Summary0002643: Speed Racer + Turret Train + FRD = ugh
DescriptionA speed racer AI has astro trains zooming around at 200+ speed. By itself that's not bad but turret trains get auto-targetted and have 50M HP, that means any unit on FRD will immediately try to chase them when they pass through a system. It takes a long time to wear the things down since they run away so fast.

Turret trains should probably not be auto-targetted anymore, 50M HP on a fairly harmless unit can keep your defenses busy for a long time. I'm not sure if astro trains in general should be immune to speed boosts since slower movement would let them do more damage

Turret trains SHOULD be auto-targetted, but I do think that trains should be immune to speed boosts.

With 50M HP and a mere 7200 damage the things may not be worth autotargetting.

Yeah, they're definitely not worth being auto-targeted now.

Astro trains should be immune to speed boosting and gravity effects (if already not)

I'm not sure about gravity effects, it would let them fire more shots at grav turrets.

Part of the issue is that we don't know how frightening astro turret trains can be when they start attacking, thanks to a bug that is keeping all astro trains from attacking. :P

Maybe they could be set up to have turret modules instead of a built-in function so you can destroy most of their offensive capabilities in a pinch but they'd regrow after a while?
