Odd Tractor Behavior
« on: February 12, 2022, 09:08:24 PM »
I was trying to help a Jump Stab ship get to its destination and I had 2 tugs nearby, and decided to try something

Tug 1 - tractors JSS -- everythin is as expected, both ships moving at a speed consistant with total engine power and combined tonage

5 minutes later - wasn't sure this would work, but what happened was really unexpected

Tug 2 tractors Tug 1 - Tractor chain formed Tug 2 --> Tug 1 --> JSS
Speed Same as Tugs' base speed.
Seems like the code is averaging the tractoring ship and its grabbed ship, ignoring the ship tug 1 had grabbed, but still maintaining the link and moving it along with the tug combo.
