Hey all,
I have been noticing an odd behavior on some ships as I play through this amazingly addictive game.
When pumping out more ships to add to a fleet, any fleet of any flagship, sometimes a select individual frigate seems to decide to always flee to the edges of the current gravity well, or even worse in some situation, always flee back to the grav well it originated from. At first I only noticed it on TEC flak frigates, and they would not attack unless forced to individually. Then, most recently, I noticed a Kodiak was not moving with the rest of its fleet after a forced move/attack, and would travel to the edge of the grav well, and then phase jump all the way back to its home grav well.
This doesn't happen to often, but it is very odd to say the least and can really slow down a unified phase jump if I haven't caught the rebelling little bastard. They almost act like planetary bombardment ships after a planet is razed completely, but they are most definitely not such frigates.
I am on 1.4, any input or workarounds? I have double checked they have all been on the same tactical orders as the rest of the fleet, and that they are indeed a part of the fleet I joined it with.
