Pilots caught in the capital blast explosion

Post by MrFiction » Fri, 6. Oct 17, 14:22

It's always fun to blow up capital ships. And the new implosion/explosion sequence at the end gives a satisfying feeling to an epic battle.

Less satisfying is seeing my squad mates hang around the decaying battleship before the imminent shockwave. While Yisha warns the player to move away, any fast small fighter ships in my squad seem to stare at their oncoming doom like a deer in the headlights of a car.

I've tried different pilots with varying skills but they all cozy up and die after a capital battle. Any tips? Besides quickly issuing an explicit follow me call, hoping I'm quick enough.

The only think I could think of is to order them away when the enemy ship still has 5-10% hull remaining and finish if yourself with missile/plasma cannon, or with your own capships.

...But then you don't have the satisfaction of seeing a capital ship fall to a swarm of fighter... :|
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.
