Planetary Fighter Bases

[Schatten]

I would like to ask what for mor.. has programmed the AI of the Fighters from Planetary Fighter Bases? One of the 2 Regisseurs of Game of Thrones? or a 10 year old child?

If a Invasion Fleet comes in the ignore the Transports with Troops, pass them without a shoot and fly behind them to attack random destroyers or cruisers, dont even kill them but switch to next warship while behind them the Troops overrun their Planet from Transports they let pass....

Seriously?

With a post like that your not going to get a response. Now, if you have a problem/ bug to report try posting a save with a polite message ....GP

[Schatten]

Its just rant after watching this. And its no bug but just very bad programming. Troop Transports should be ALWAYS be first Target, even children would understood it.

Still, post a save showing your problem....GP

I agree that's not ideal behavior. In general, all defense platforms and fleets in the case of an invasion are intended to focus on the troop transports.

Please zip up and share a save with us that shows this happening with your bases and we will investigate the issue.

ok.
Here you see the Fighter from Planetary Fighter Base on World 006 ignoring all the Transports full with Troops of the incomming 3 Invasion Fleet and going initially after a Destroyer switching than to a Frigate.

For me they simply go for the Ship with highest firepower no matter what really important in the Fleet.

Of course the Fleet also ignores the Spaceport

Could you also let us know what version you are on that you noticed this issue?

The Savegame was from 01.11.2023 so either 1.1.8.1 or 1.1.7.9 but i think 1.1.7.9

Understood, thank you.

The Patch has not changing anything. From a fresh Game started with 1.1.8.1 the Planet Fighters (this time Gizuraen Hive Fighters) keep their stupid behavior and attack frigs , completly ignoring the full Troop Transports

I also experienced that planetary fighters are missing landing back on the planet which can mess up selecting other ships in orbit as you cling on space close to the planet might select a fighter rather than a ship.

At least there is something fishy going on with planetary fighters in general I think.

Thanks for the info, we will investigate.
