Problem with sector transfer

Post by Yorkshire Tea »

Hi all,

(One problem, some suggestions and possible spoilers ahead...)

Got a problem with the AI transfering cap ships from one sector to another. I started a new Operation Highland under 4.0.2 and everything has gone fine up to day 8. I'm currently playing only using fighters even though I have the option to transfer (Lt.Commander)

The Archon and its group have been ordered to transfer from Solus to Jaleh by 03:00 Day 8. Trouble is only Archon appears for the next mission (Day 8 13:00), having left the cruiser (Stalwart) and two destroyers (Garrond and the other one) behind. This makes survival a bit tricky, given that the new sector is full of hostiles (yes, I know a new destroyer group will show up on Day 9, but it would be nice to get 'all hands on deck')

Some suggestions now...

1. Could someone please tell Frigate AI captains that charging in against destroyers is suicide. A "bug out to nearest friendly group if the going looks like getting too tough" would be a great addition to the AI's repetoire.

2. For strike missions could the mission planning AI be taught to bracket capships with two strike flights coming from different vectors?

3. How about Rescue and RESCAP missions for downed pilots/life boats from cap ships?
