Summary0002028: auto-kiting + fortress issue
DescriptionFortresses have fairly incredible range (58000), so most values people enter into the auto-kiting box will affect them. This causes problems with the new repair delay, since even moving an inch will reset the repair timer to 1 minute.

One way to fix this is to make the repair delay depend on the distance moved, i.e. have it increase by 1 second for every X units up to a cap of 1 minute... maybe decrease the cap on friendly planets.

Things that can fire across the entire gravity well of a planet should probably just be excluded actually. Fortresses, snipers. I can't think of any more.

Snipers have auto kiting now as part of their unit functionality.. do I need to add that this makes them actually more nasty? ;)

Keith, is that auto-kiting thing still even in there?

It's still there, on the controls screen. Feedback kinda petered out on that, though some players definitely like it.

Ok. Well, this one seems like a good suggestion, at any rate.

* Ships with movement that causes abilities to be reset (like fortresses) are no longer eligible for auto-kiting, or for auto-FRD mode.
