Make NPC Ships more Aggressive in Combat.

[Sunleader]

As the Title Says.

 

NPC Ships currently are behaving overly Defensive.

They are almost always increasing Distance and are Driving at Odd Angles.

 

This not only Causes em to always show their Rear to Enemy Ships.

It is is also Dragging out Combat Needlessly.

 

 

If only Traders and Inferior Ships would behave like this

Or if they are Outnumbered for example.

It would make Sense to me.

 

But even if the NPC has the Entirely Superior Ship and is 1 vs 1 he is avoiding a Broadside Battle like the Pest.

 

 

Thanks to that Combat takes Forever because neither the NPC nor the Player can manage to cause major damages to the Enemy.

Them behaving like this is very annoying and only serves to make Battle long and boring.

 

If NPCs have an Equal or Superior Ship they should be more Aggressive and Attempt to actually Battle the Enemy in a Distance where they Deal Damage.

I do agree it is annoying but it can be easily overcome.

Hi,

Totally agree, dont think I've seen anything but the rear of enemy AI renommees since the dawn of time, and 3rd rates tend to avoid broadsides too.

Hi,

 

I agree. Combats look like a race, and in that case I'm wondering, which ship I will take between a Bellona and a Constitution
