Version 1.82:
1. Changed - Ships in combat will now follow their fleet's strategy regardless of whether they are in a combat group or not.

Ummmm... does this mean unarmed ships/carriers/etc. will no longer run to the corners if they're part of a fleet that has a strategy of "[Optimum/point-blank/max/etc.] weapons range" or any of the other combat-oriented strategies? I can see that it might make planet invasions easier, and get rid of the "bug" that ships with only PDC will run from battle, but I'd like my supply and repair ships to stay away from the enemy ships...

Perhaps a hard-coded Fleet Strategy of "On Your Own" needs to be added, which only specifies "ships will use their own strategy, as specified for their design" ...

That way you can have a single fleet, a mixed lot of missile and beam-armed warships, with a single logistics-and-repair ship -- and the missile ships will use a good missile strategy, the beam ships will use a good beam strategy, and the logistics ship will run for the (figurative) hills.
