| Summary | 0001998: FRD activates units in sequence instead of in groups | ||||
| Description | In my current game I'm finding that Free Roaming Defender takes a while to trigger on the entire fleet of FRD units I have on a given planet. Depending on the size of the force, it can take between 10 and 30 seconds for them all to respond to any incoming threats. | ||||

This is correct, the game only runs so many "generate list of targets" operations per frame to keep large fleets from resulting in heavy lag. |
|
|
Just to clarify: it does recognize the difference between a get-target-list operation when it has to scan only 5 enemy ships and one where it has to scan 2000. So if you have 1000 ships in frd and only a few AI ships are wandering through they should process through much faster than if 1000 AI ships are wandering through. |

Alright, cool. Though it seems like some method should be taken to get everyone moving against larger groups faster? Could something be programmed in that if a large enough force of enemy units enters the planet, all FRD forces will target the same ship to get them all moving, and then it runs through the normal get-target list operation to break off attack groups as they're all moving? |

I like Sunshine's idea. |
