[1468] New Follow Speed Logic #16286

[kahta]

Recycling my savegame from the other post.

Attached is a scenario that I ran fresh starting with the new patch. When ship groups are set to "Group Lead can slow down" then the group effectively becomes stuck while trying to get into perfect formation.

It appears that the root cause of this is when the speed is set for the group, the ships follow their respective speed for the throttle level regardless of the group speed.

For example, if a ship has a "full" speed of 20 knots while the group lead has a full speed of 25 knots, the follower will attempt to travel at 20 knots and fall out of formation- then the formation becomes stuck.

Setting the group speed manually via F2 resolves the issue and the ships remain in formation.
