| Summary | 0007842: Spire tractor platforms should attempt to retreat sooner | ||||
| Description | Spire tractor platforms should retreat sooner. I find that they'll keep trying to make progress because they're not 'full' (not sure what makes them consider themselves 'full', and then die because I am doing too much damage to them. It would make more sense for them to try and bail with whatever units they have. That would make them a lot harder, actually. Right now a gravity turret+few bombers makes them a non-issue (Just so I'm not asking only for stuff to make my life easier :-) | ||||

A low health trigger for retreating could work. |
|
|
A low health trigger in general on offense wouldn't work very well, as just because they are at low health doesn't mean they are going to die soon. It is very possible that the attack force has cleared most are all things with firepower from the planet, and thus everyone should stay in and try to finish things off unless reinforcements come in from other places. However, for tractor units, they do try to retreat early on purpose, to abuse that tractors carry units through wormholes. As such, having a low health trigger if the number of units they are currently tractoring >= 1 would work in this case. |

Add ships with the "Swallow" trait to this list... I have a maw with 0000136:0000060 out of 150 ships in it... I've dropped it's health steadily but it still progressed in-system (and was trying to get inside the shield covering the CS and wormhole) all the way to 0 health. |
