my one small complaint
Ammianus_marcellinus
i love v11, i think all who worked on it did an awesome job. i have, as the subject suggests, one small complaint, though it may be my ignorance to the use of v11 that is the cause of this complaint.

basically, whenever one of my ships attack, they all attack, and i mean all of them, even my shipyard. setting them at passive doesn't seem to fix this either. so if i arrange my forces in a purposeful defensive screen, all goes to crap as soon as the red is in range. also, ships are very capable of standing off, attacking at range, but all ships seem to just charge in. is there a way to keep my ships from leaving formation and from charging headlong. i would love to be able to use my long range ships for long range without having to worry about them moving forward.

suggestions? thoughts?

Yeah, this is annoying. Would it be possible for ships to be less suicidal when set on neutral or passive?

yeah the way forward i find is to have any ships you dont want rushing off guarding one of your resource collectors on defensive (F3) mode, then they generally will stick around until the enemy are right on top of them. doesnt always work, but better than nothing
