Summary0001705: Inactive bombers vs Riot shields???
DescriptionThis one is strange. Take a look at the system my fleet is raiding. If you look at my Riot starship, you'll notice a bunch of enemy bombers are frantically circling it. Since they're still marked inactive(can't remember the correct term, but you get the idea) they don't shoot my ships and my ships have other stuff to kill first. As a result the only thing they seem to be able to do is circle my riot ship at the edge of it's shields.

Inactive -> Low power?

Yeah, that would probably be it - wasnt sure if that term was also used for AI ships not actively responding to an incursion.

there was at one point logic for 'all bombers in system attack hostile forcefields'

i believe this logic is still in play, however it was around BEFORE cold storage - so ships never properly come out of low power and attack the forcefields.

its exaggerated by the fact that riot i's have ff modules, since before riots were around, you didnt usually start bringing ff to a planet until you were ready to either beachhead or whathave you

Ok, it was another case of low-power-mode AI ships getting commnads when they shouldn't get any. We've put in a pretty aggressive change to prevent that from happening at all now; there are still a few things that can happen, I suppose, but this should get most of it.

The bombers and tanks in question will basically just sit wherever they are after you load the save in 4.043, but that's ok, it's just transient weirdness.
