Hi all,
I was having a nice little combat with some precursors - three destroyers (1 scout, 1 Jump destroyer and 1 Escort destroyer) frantically running away from a small squadron who were unloading 3 Anti ship missiles every 5 or 10 secs - the actual combat was quite fun as the DJ had 3xASM launchers, but the precursor missiles were abouy 20% faster than my ASMs so every once in a while the ASMs would miss the incoming vampires, and turn around and chase them back towards the DE, which since the close Defence of the DE was a pair of quad lasers (at 25% hit chance) occasionally resulted in one or two hits.
The problem lies with what happened after one of those two hit strikes actually caused engine damage (from seperate missiles in the same salvo). The first hit reduced the speed of the Aegis, and so the program moved it out of the 2nd Scout Squadron into its own Task Group (DE Aegis) which had a max speed of something like 6100km/s. The second missile ALSO damaged the engine which resulted in the program again moving the Aegis out of its current TG (DE Aegis) and moving it into a new TG also called DE Aegis( now moving at 5700 km/s).
I didn't want the Aegis left behind so I moved it back into 2nd Scout Squadron (which of course slowed down as a result - no complaint there). The program then started throwing errors at every interval, which I eventually worked out was because it had two fleets with the same name , both of which were empty. The problem went away when I deleted one of the fleets
If a ship suffers engine damage, and it is the only ship in the Task Group, it should not generate a new Task Group. I'd also like to reiterate a request made some time ago that there be a way to set a squadron not to abandon damaged units for battles like this one where I figured the defence of the whole squadron was better served by keeping them all together.
BTW the 2nd Scout Squdron eventually escaped when the precursors ran out of missiles and went home to re-arm, although Custodes (the JD) was down to 20% capacity, and the armour on Aegis resembled Swiss cheese, and Hawkeye was not much better (although unbreached)
