ships chasing enemy fleets

from Sins Forums

Hey, I have what's probably a dumb question. I have set up defensive perimeters around a few planets that include starbases, missile platforms and regeneration bays; unfortunately, my forces stationed there tend to run away from the protective cordon when meeting enemy forces and pirates that come calling. How do I get them to stop doing this and attack from their current positions?

you need to set their engagement range to be local area only. If your building new units at the same time you need to create a fleet with the units stationed there. Set the engagement range of the fleet to local area only. Then set the rally point of the factories to the fleet leader icon.

Newly built units will then join that fleet and will be automatically set to local area only engagement.

 

This is one of the few times I use the fleet option online so I don't have to baby sit units suiciding themselves after being built.
