| Summary | 0022875: Snipers and drones tend to aggro entire planets | ||||
| Description | Infinite-range ships like snipers, and drone producers like combat factories, have a tendancy to start shooting at guard posts while there's still mobile threat for them to target. This results in those guard posts releasing their contents, which means I have to fight all the defenders at once rather than getting to pick them off piecemeal. I can mitigate this somewhat by telling snipers to hold fire, but then they don't contribute to the fight at all. Drones, on the other hand, seem to ignore hold-fire orders unless I issued them to the parent ship *before* the drones were released (see the linked ticket). I'm not sure what the best fix is. For snipers, I kind of want them to ignore guard posts and other structure that carry defenders unless explictly told to shoot them. Drones are harder since it seems I can't issue orders to the drones themselves. I guess "tendancy to pull aggro from the entire planet" is a drawback I can live with; I just want some way to make them stand down, but currently they're ignoring both hold-fire and load-into-transport orders. | ||||

Thanks! (drone changes are incoming) * The new Aggro Invisiblity ability has been given to all of the sniper ship variants, sentinel gunboat variants, sniper frigate variants, sniper guardian variants, and sniper turret variants. ** This prevents them from engaging guard posts and similar unless those guard posts are already aggro'd, and thus not alerting an entire planet just because you bring them along. ** Why have this on the guardians? Mostly for AI Civil Wars, but also in case you capture some. ** Why on turrets? Mainly for purposes of beachheads. |
