Hmmmm....

So, keeping the light cruisers strategy but only modifying it to not attack planets will cause it to run for the hills (or at least not come into range of the planets weapons) in the absence of any ships?

It is interesting that you (Gandalph) are the first person to respond to my inquiry.

About 5 turns ago a number of your destroyers were pursuing the ships of this AI race through a system owned by me.

Never seen anything like it. They were going like a bat out of hell with entering one WP of my system and exiting at another WP. And there you were, 'hot' on their tails.

Did you win the battle?

I think this puts me back to square one. Y/N?

Which game was that? I have 15 going right now and I think you are in 3 of them.

Three? That's news to me.

It was the Great Experiment 2

I just tested the strategy I mentioned and it does work.

Edit - I just checked and it's only 2, Survivor and TGE

Quite right, it does work.

With no ship in the sector, it mills around it's starting point

If a ship is in the sector, it 'actively' engagaes it.

If it defeats the ship, it mills around its Last position in the combat area.

Thanx
