Strategy setting

[aegisx]

How do you get the AI to assign a certain strategy to a design type? Boarding Ships are assigned Optimal Firing Range (in BM), which makes them pretty useless.

[aegisx]

No where in the AI files is Sys_Set_Vehicle_Design_Strategy() set. It sets the Fleet strategy with the player preference though. I am guessing it is defaulting to Optimal? If this is true, is it even possible for the AI to invade a planet or do anything else other then run or optimal firing range?

Kwok probably just hasn't implemented that feature yet, since it was only added in the 1.33 patch.

[aegisx]

Oh, I did not realize it was a new function

[aegisx]

Success...

Adding

set bool_res :=

Sys_Set_Vehicle_Design_Strategy(sys_long_player_id ,design_id,"Capture Enemy Ships")

to the designcreation file in the function Add_Required_Components_To_Design at the case statement for Boarding Ships changes the ship strategy to Capture Enemy Ships.

There is probably a better place to put it, I just put it there because a case statement was already there and it was called.

Yeah, it was on the v1.05 to-do list, but keeps getting pushed back. I'll improve the strategy choices for v1.07.
