In all fights their are random things that can happen
Do you guys even read my Posts? I'm talking about the UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOUR that's driving me mad! It has got nothing to do with randomness! Just tonight my ships behaved TOTALLY differently in the simulator in strategic vs tactical mode, resulting in some totally abnormal results. The only thing that moves on the enemy's side is a ship that doesn't shoot back so the problem is with my own ships. When I ran the simulator in strategic mode (repeated 6 or 7 times) they performed ok, all the ships followed orders, headed for the planet and ignored the enemy ship. But when I switched to tactical mode all hell broke lose! The ships spreaded out, some headed to who-knows-where, one of the DN somehow chased after the enemy ship when it was ordered not to. What's even more amazing it fired ONLY its shield depleter at the ship! The ships that actually reached the planet shot at the sats first, when they were told to hit the planet and forget everything else. THEN the whole thing went crazy - I switched back strategic mode, but the ships started to behave exactly as they did in tactical! What if I want them to actually follow my orders again? Just quit the simulator and re-enter it, then everything's back to normal.
Doesn't it need fixing??? SHOULD I EXPECT THEM TO FOLLOW MY ORDERS OR NOT???
