Eboda Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Is it possible to keep my fighters close by? I set them all to escort me, but they seem to want to fly off and killed by whatever base is nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papi Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hi Eboda, use defend instead of escort. That way they'll attack only hostiles that are targeting your CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Light Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 rofl, ya those pilots arent always the smartest cookies in the jar. I always have them sit on halt orders until I specifically find a target for them to attack. Its mucho taxing for me to micromanage but they dont die so easy that way. Only time I let em roam the zone free is if there are no hostile stations or ODS systems in the area. Even then im watchin em closely. I assume as their AI goes up they wont do dumb stuff like that as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MIKE113 Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Be carefull using Defend order, if you jump into area with hostiles they will engage anything that tracks you on radar, including Stations(fatal)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but with escort order they engage the enemy even if the enemy is not tracking your CC, even more fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
