Re: Blockade strategy?
I think you have pegged it. I usually go through and set all strategies to have everyone break formation, so probably did that with this one, too. I'll try it again without breaking formations.
Except... hmmm, my Capture Planet fleet strategy has everyone break formation, too, yet it seems to keep on working anyway, so that the gunships bLast the defenses and then quit firing to let the troopships make their assault - even though gunship individual strategies are set to Optimal, they seem to remember that the fleet was set to Capture Planet...
The DefaultStrategies.txt in USM looks very good. I think I will start using it regularly.
You know, what I'd really like is a strategy to let the troopships go ahead and begin their landing while the gunships are still working on the defenses, rather than waiting for the shooting to end. I like to build tough troopships that can land under fire, since that is the way I use them in solo games where I can use tactical combat. Recently I have been trying to work out better ways of using strategic combat, since I won't be able to use tactical on PBW. USM doesn't seem to have a strategy for that, either, so maybe it just doesn't work.
