[AP] escort freighter missions...

[senor135]

dear god why do the AI escorts already flying with the freighter refuse to do jack ****.

In my game at least, they do not respond to the scripted attacks by pirates for the mission at all. They barely move out of the way of any incoming fire that might stray towards them.

but... god forbid i hit the freighter, by accident, just a tiny bit. I'm sure ive hit the freighter on accident in more than one escort mission and it was fine. However, in one mission i just grazed it breifly, i swear for less than 2% shield damage, and immediately all of the escorts that were ignoring the pirates turned to attack me.

This resulted in everything being hostile to me; the pirates were already shooting at me and the freighter i was supposed to protect, the previously brain-dead escorts were now shooting at me, and the freighter even turned his turret on me... The turret ive never seen fire at a pirate.

wtf.
