Summary0002877: Guardians which un-tether themselves from a guard post aren't auto-targetted
Descriptionusing version 5.001

My fleet consisting of mark II fighters, bombers & shield bearers, mark I bomber SS, Leech SS, Raid SS, Riot SS & Flagships just completely ignored some Flak Guardians.

My fleet were parked next to the AI Command Station & Warp Gate while a mark III Flak Guardian bounced off the Shield Bearer forcefields. Other than the Riot SS nothing was firing until I manually targetted the Flak Guardian (Riot SS were firing at some AI fleet ships further out).

Not sure if melee ships exhibit the same behaviour as I don't have any to test.

I think that's generally a problem with guardians that are on a leash, they'll venture away from their guard post but they won't count as full targets. They won't move too far away from the post but IMO they should be considered targets the moment they start moving towards your troops.

Came across a mark II Flak Guardian but now I have Vampire Claws unlocked from my 2nd ARS so I can't confirm whether the behaviour is the same as before.

Haven't seen it happen with any other guardian types as yet.

I think KDR might be correct that it's a bug with guardians in general.
Got a mark II Raider Guardian & mark II Flak Guardian in a neutered system which are shooting at my fleet but are being ignored by the fleet even though they are actually on top of them (neither of them have taken any damage at all from 400+ ships). When I manually target them, they die pretty quick.
