Ship Order Problems

posted on April 27th, 2009, 7:33 am

I am playing, and when i send ships into battle, they randomly ignore orders. I will order them to attack a station (as an example) and about 3 quarters of them will ignore my orders, If i keep giving the same order, they will eventually follow them but it is very irritating (and can sometimes make the difference between victory and loss).

this is an issue originating from armada. if someone knows a good and easy way to reproduce this, please let me know. i have also only seen this issue only randomly, so it's hard to make a fix for that

yhea i know an easy way,

warp in a fleet of say 5-7 vessels, mainly galaxies and excels and nebulas and tell them to attack something and ur find because the excels are so fast the galaxies and nebulas just seem to give up and wait around.

I wonder...I might know the solution.

@ RCIX

Did you have any ships set to auto fire special weapons, or did you tell them to fire any?

The ships will also change target if they level up or a enemy ship levels up.
