SE5 v1.35 retreat |
I attack a planet having 1 destroyer defending with a fleet of several larger ships with big tech advantages. My fleet always retreats immediately with no losses.
I tried setting Retreat When to Never, but it still retreats. I tried various combinations of fleet armament (e.g., all missles, all direct fire). The only cargo on the planet are some Troops. All strategies (ships and fleet) are Optimal Range.

Re: SE5 v1.35 retreat
Ordnance? Supplies? If they are zero, I'm sure that would cause a retreat. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Re: SE5 v1.35 retreat
Assume this is simultaneous (or turn based?). Sad to say, surely this is part of the "fleets will ignore their strategies in space combat" bug? See the buglist (I *think* it s at spacempires.net)

After a bit of searching, I remembered it's available on the wiki:
