Ship strategies SE 1.71 BM 1.14A |

Ok I made a post under another topic where I stated that my ship strategies is not working. One guy came back and said his strategies his working fine and the post was basically ignored further on. I thought ok so maybe the fault is only on my side so I whacked my game and reinstalled patched everything back to SE 1.71 BM 1.14A and got the same problem again that I put my Missile frigates strategy on don’t get hurt and the ship keeps on attacking and if I put the strategy on Maximum weapons range it does exactly the same. I think the strategy automatically goes to optimal firing range. Oh and the first thing that told me the mistake is not on my pc was the fact that even the combat replays I get from the PBW server does exactly the same thing.
Ok so I thought maybe the problem came in with BM 1.14A so I whacked my balance Mod folder and only used the 1.14 ver. Got the same problem.
Then I decided to test just the core game SE 1.71 and also got the error. I whacked my whole game again and reinstalled only the core game SE 1.00 and there the strategies worked fine. So my estimate is that somebody screwed up somewhere in the core part of the game. My guess would be SE 1.71 patch. Can someone please test this two so that I can know if I am way off here?
With this problem a Uranium Cannon Frigate will do a lot of damage to a Missile frigate in the BALANCE MOD where normally a missile frigate with strategy "do not get hurt" would destroy a Cannon Frigate without one point of damage.

Strategies.txt would be the one it's in the data folder though make sure to back it up before you edit it.

Okay you're quite right, however the problem is correctable, the strategies are simply wrongly defined and you can redefine them yourself (either in the files if you can find them or each time you start a new game), a pain in the backside but a workable solution.
