Some questions...

Submitted by Ebonyknight on Sun, 2006-10-22 09:34. Space Empires V General

I have this frustrating problem. I finally figured out how to use formations (reading the manual helps). But I have this frustrating problem. I have several technologically superior ships at a warp point. I tell them to attack ONE ship. Battle starts and my fleet runs and won't fire back at the ship.

My ships won't move and attack despite my initiating combat.

I am assuming this is because my leader is damaged, so he runs and therfore the rest run. But even so, they don't fire back when fired upon. Even then there should be a way to have them manually attack. I select a ship and to specifically target. Then nothing happens.

How do I change my leader? No matter how I add them to a fleet, the same ship seems to always be leader.

I also stumbled on the way to view, if not edit, the ship reaction boolean terms. Like Don't get hurt, I can see the conditions it follows. Can anyone tell me how to get back there?

Also, when using a created race, how can you use one of the existing ship name sets with it?

Now I am confused. I took out all the damaged ships. They still turned tail and run. What is going on?

Didn't you post this in another thread?

Didn't you post this elsewhere? Double-posts are bad!

They are cowards. You

They are cowards. You should make an example of them by executing them and their families. Only when the iron fist of order smashes them can you bring the universe under your boot.

Okay...

Thanks to Rilbur for letting me know why they keep running. They were out of ordinance, duh...

What is the criteria for going to defensive formation? And how do I designate a leader?

Yeah sorry.

When I posted then saw that the replies were taking days, I thought I should put it in general.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the answer.

Well, part of the problem is a lot of people use "recent comments"... and that sub-forum doesn't get many. Catch 22
