Uh, guys? How does a PLANET break formation? I mean, how could it BE in a formation is the first place?

The way I read the AI_Strategy file, your ships/units break formation when these are your targets.

Interpreting here, I would hazard the guess that if part of a fleet, the fleet "break formation" rules are applied. If merely a "group" (ie fighters) then the ship rules.

Can anyone confirm?


Also, the "attack ship" etc. would be based upon the design "type" classification. The AI uses this when putting together it's fleets and Groups. The Human player is of course free to ignore the typing, but this may account for some of the confusing results when the AI applies rules.
