Overconfident fleets attacking more powerful targets

Post by Xmudder »

I have seen this several times so far, finally got a save:

Fleet 1 (strength 719) killed a 400ish isolated gravilax, and is now trying to attack a 752, 435, and 146 gravilax near each other

Fleet 2 is strength 968, and wants to attack a strength 1,046 station

Attack overmatch factor 2

I will be cancelling both attacks.

I am also seeing singleton ships suiciding themselves against the hidden ships at Nemban 3. Even 2nd fleet will die against them.

Game was started in 1.2.7.1, save was from 1.2.7.3

But I have seen similar since before Shakturi was released.

It's worse if I leave it at 1.5x

Thanks. Do you happen to have a save from before you noticed this fleet take on the mission against the overpowering threat?

Are you able to consistently reproduce your overmatch issues from this save?

It continued to happen multiple times when I played from this save. I did not go back and replay from the save however.

I ended up taking all but one of my fleets off manual and lumping them together to kill pests while minimizing losses. I'd have one on auto and sent the rest to help it kill whatever the advisor sent it against, or manually against whatever was closest.

Do you mind sending us that save as well + any steps to reproduce that show your fleets not following overmatch factor policies?

I loaded up "overconfident" and this happened a few minutes later. In the Endenur system, 2 salvaged ships (str 91) are attacking a str 2976 Vordikan in an asteroid belt. One is disabled without hyperdrive, the other soon will be.

The fight in the Gulrath system is still ongoing.

I am no longer getting the stregnth of mobs in these syetms. Endenur says 418 / ??? (I have no idea how 2 91 str ships add up to 418). Gulrath says 800 / ???

I going to uninstall and reinstall the game and see if anything changes.

reinstalled, not much of a change. might need better sensors.

overconfident 3: Advisor is suggesting a suicide a 800 fleet against a 1k spaceport. The advice gives me my fleet power but not that of the target. In my previous playthrough I needed to stack both fleets to get a kill on the spaceport.

overconfident 4: 1k fleet vs 2 ik vordikar in Andat

I have 1 more, but it is more than 10megs zipped.

New game (few pirates, few monsters). And most recent save before. Manual fleets this time.
