Name := Kamikaze Attack Ship
Design Type := Kamikaze Attack Ship
Vehicle Type := Ship
Default Strategy := Don't Get Hurt

Don't Get Hurt for a Kamikaze Attack Ship, hmmmm ?

I think the "Kamikaze Attack Ship" might actually be a support ship (PD, Repair, Refuel, aux. Minesweeper or some such). Look at the design and maybe the "don't get hurt" will make sense. Some modders use Kamikaze ships and boarding ships to make mixed fleets and include support ships in their fleets.

The Xiati are using the Kamikaze Ships as supply tankers. And you wouldn't have them charge into batle, would you?

Tricky... no, you are right, I would avoid them like a hot potato.

The Krill were my Oops, missed it in both the Version on the CD and the update for them I posted with the Orks (same oops with them). I forgot to add the Kamikaze stratagy in the .emp files, did a quick change to call for Ram instead and added the file to the Krill_Ork update post in the races area.

BTW - it was the defense ship that had the Kamikaze strategy, use the Kamikaze ships for something else.

The .emp file can just be edited when I start with a race, change the strategy setup, save the race, right ? I wonder if everything can be set up this way, e.g. Damage Until All Weapons Gone ?

I have not found a respective entry in the AI_strategies.txt, so I think the special things are set in the way described above ?

Thats pretty much right. Thats where I made the oops, while editing the stratagies with the race as player control, and saving the Empire after I was done, I forgot to add the Kamikaze Strategy.

??? - in both the Krill_AI_Strategy, and the Ork_AI_Strategy Kamikaze is the third strategy from the bottom (are you using the updated Versions posted here, I don't have the old Versions at work to check right now)

I just have taken the CD with me, I am in my office at the moment, the Krill have got the following order in their strat file (from the bottom to the top) :

Drone Attack
Kamikaze
Point Blank
...

So on the CD it is the 2nd from the bottom.
