Fleet Postures and Automation
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 2:13 am
Hello,
I've read the fleet posture howto, but I'm confused about something: the howto seems to imply that in order to make use of fleet postures, I have to enable automation for the fleet.
However, it seems to me that when I'm doing that, the fleet posture settings themselves get changed without my doing, e.g. the fleet gets assigned to a different home base, or is flipped from Defend to attack.
On the other hand, when disabling automation I don't have the impression that my fleets actually do anything on their own.
What am I doing wrong? Is there another another automation setting that might be responsible for automatically assigning postures, and that I have to turn off? I assumed that the "fleet formation" policy really only applies to formation..
