Ships doing nothing on attack order [1.0.2.8]

Post by xHattix »

In the version mentioned in title, my ships/fleets just doing NOTHING anymore after i gave a direct attack order an a enemy ship. They just stop immediately and doing nothing anymore, waiting to just get destroyed.
They will (rarely) fire their weapons at anything within range
Move orders afterwards will just work fine and they will attack enemies at normal fire rate.

It seems they doing that if enemy ships just jump in to the ongoing battle, like they cant find "path" to the new enemy ship

The problem is probably in your fleet tactical settings. Hard to say precisely what it is without seeing them though. A screenshot of the fleet tactical settings would help (including the section for the overrides). If you could post a save of your game, that would be even better.

Default fleet settings. Nothing modified. Dont think there is a fleet setting either, that will do fine for battles without attack order and not working/putting every ship to insta stop on attack order by human

Same default settings worked fine in previous patches

Think i found the issue:

Fleet WONT attack with just right clicking the enemy ship.. STRG rightclick to do attack order works.

The default behaviour for right click is "prepare and attack". One ship is still in travel to the fleet. All other ships are in attack range of the enemy ship but doing nothing anymore cause of the "preparation"
