| Summary | 0002922: AI waves retreat rather than attack | ||||
| Description | I currently have annoying problem when the AI sends a wave of ships against me. When these ships arrive they proceed to attack me, for about 8 seconds. After that they suddenly decide to retreat, usually through the wormhole that they just came through and adding 300-800 threat to the counter. (Interestingly, the retreating ships trend to retreat deep into AI territory rather than attack/stalk my worlds. The ships do start attacking/stalking when the game is saved then loaded.) I have attached two saved games where there is a wave incoming, where the ships decided to retreat rather than attack when the attack arrived. | ||||

This is the expected behavior when your forces are concentrated too strongly on one planet. They'll be back when they think they can win. In terms of them not stalking you, hey will indeed run deep into ai territory before coming back to stalk you. Are you sure it's not just takin time for them to go out and back, or are they literally clumping out there until you load a save? |

try moving all possible mil ships through a WH to another friendly system. They will attack and you can catch some of them by jumping back thru the WH. Use tractors, grav turrets, logistic com station to slow them down. |

Just to be clear x4000 are you talking about ships that have been spawned through a wave attack (i.e. spawning on one of my planets through an hostile wormhole), or free/threat ships that were stalking and are now attacking? The issue I'm having is with the ships spawned through a wave attack, not the ones that were stalking me. |

I'm talking about any AI ships, period -- if they find themselves on a planet where they judge they cannot win, they will run away. And they won't come back in until they judge that they can win. |
