Bug in Fleet Stategic Combat

[Rover]

my first question is. is your command ship a cruiser and if so, is it an attack or defense ship. Many times when you design a ship it may have, "don't get hurt" as its default strategy. if so you need to set it to a different strategy type.

I do this with carriers so they are part of the fleet in tactical combat so when I am using auto mode they don't just break formation, launch fighters and run for it. I like my carriers up close and personal so I can launch my fighters close to the enemy.

I have had similar problems with strategic combat as well. Some times the same thing happens to me.

I have look at the formation text in the data file and I think once you understand how a position in a formation is set up you can name a certain type of ship to that position. There is a "type" for each of the position in the formation. Haven't try it yet because it seems like a lot of work. But I will try it soon and see if it is what I think it is.
