Do you think this is a bug or a feature? IE is it in becasue

If it is B then we should report it as a bug.

If it's A then I think we should request that sweeping and cloak/decloak orders be put into order Queues rather than executed immediately. (So you could tell your ship "move to "location", "decloak", "sweep", "cloak" and then watch it go execute those orders in that sequence.)




I can see your point. But, actually I belive that's a bug, because have reported several times this to Aaron, and their answer always was that he would try to include the fix for the next patch (I'm reporting this from some patches ago, hehehe).

BTW, if this is a feature, this only would work against already known minefields... and considering that the cloak in SE4 is a very weak option (comparing with SE3), in my view, would become an unusable option: to send an attack, you always will be forced to have decloaked your minesweepers in you fleets... ergo, the cloak would become useless. Specially for the AI, because an Human can suspect that some warp point should have mines, but the AI never guess anything.

Atcually, I have 4 races in mind.

8472
TOS
Breen
Dominion

I have fiddled a bit with the AI, but discovered that as much fun as it is, I really don't know jake about what I am doing, and my learning curve (time wise) is atrocious.

Atrocities,
What are the key racial traits that you envisage for each of the races?
