Default Re: Point Defence and Maximum Weapons Range orders

@PvK
Which file has the toggle that you mentioned?

@Rexxx,
I have ships set with Maximum Weapons Range as primary and secondary movement orders but am still finding the ships to be seeker hunting anyway (Capital Ship Missiles were the only offensive weapon).
Check out the following extract from the Maximum Weapons Range strategy:

Name := Maximum Weapons Range
Primary Movement Strategy := Maximum Weapons Range
Secondary Movement Strategy := Maximum Weapons Range
Targeting Priority 1 := Has Weapons
Targeting Priority 2 := Nearest
Targeting Priority 3 := Most Damaged
Targeting Priority 4 := Weakest
Use Type Priority First := True
Type Priority Planets := 6
Type Priority Fighters := 3
Type Priority Seekers(On Us) := 0
Type Priority Seekers(On Others) := 0
Type Priority Mines := 12
Type Priority Carriers := 11
Type Priority Colony Ships := 10
Type Priority Transports := 9
Type Priority Bases(No Weapons) := 5
Type Priority Ships(No Weapons) := 8
Type Priority Bases := 4
Type Priority Ships := 1
Type Priority Satellites := 7
Type Priority Drones := 2
Dont Fire On Planets := False
Dont Fire On Fighters := False
Dont Fire On Seekers(On Us) := True
Dont Fire On Seekers(On Others) := True
Dont Fire On Mines := False
Dont Fire On Carriers := False
Dont Fire On Colony Ships := False
Dont Fire On Transports := False
Dont Fire On Bases(No Weapons) := False
Dont Fire On Ships(No Weapons) := False
Dont Fire On Bases := False
Dont Fire On Ships := False
Dont Fire On Satellites := False
Dont Fire On Drones := True
Fighters Launch Group Amount := 10
Break Formation Planets := True
Break Formation Fighters := True
Break Formation Mines := False
Break Formation Carriers := True
Break Formation Colony Ships := True
Break Formation Transports := True
Break Formation Bases(No Weapons) := False
Break Formation Ships(No Weapons) := False
Break Formation Bases := False
Break Formation Ships := False
Break Formation Satellites := True
Break Formation Drones := True

Note: the ships did actually target ships as the highest priority (the battle I ran included a planet, satellites, bases and a colony ship) but rapidly ended up chasing seekers as well.
