I was thinking a lot about this and I just wanted to ask if it would be possible to put evasive manoeuvres into FO.What I'm thinking is that this could be a standard special weapon equiped on all ships.When your ship gets in trouble and it is taking one hell of a pounding you could switch this on and your ship would be able to dodge incoming fire.Of course,make it use a lot of special energy so it can only be used a little bit at a time.

I know it does but isn't that for torpedos?I mean like actually have it where you activate it,the ship dodges all or about 50% of the fire targeting the ship and then the energy runs out leaving the ship completely open to enemy fire.If you wanted to make Destroyers more usefull or build worthy then you could fit this to Destroyers only.

Destroyers do need some bonus to set them above simple cannon fodder... |

The stock A2 Formation where vessels dart around would be useful for that, maybe adding it to destroyers only?

Better yet, something resembling the 'director's cut' option from A1...

I've always wondered, What in the name of Brolly is 'Director's Cut'?

In Armada 1, the 'director's cut' option allows the ships to maneuver in combat rather than just sit in one place shooting at each other.

In that case, Director's cut is good.

my guess is that maddoc has tied the directors cut into the whole AI movement autonomy. When i used to play A1 i noticed that my ships would periodically disapear from formation, i would in turn replace them with newly built ships (thinking they had been destroyed), only to find those AWOL ships in question alive & well in some remote part of the map  . Now in A2 you have something along the same lines, set movement autonomy to high, and your ships will go walkabout (if thats even possible  ). I liked the A1 directors cut, im not sure how much it affected the chances of your ships getting hit, but it sure as hell looked cooler  |

Yeah directors cut was great but there was a problem with it
with forward fire ships such as the defiant vs say a bop they would spin round forever trying to manuever
they were only truely effective vs larger ships in packs but otherwise DC was great
but yeah ur right ryan it was to do with the AI pathing thats what removed it from A2 and no matter what it cannot be modded back in i tried for so long and failed many times
