My ships won't use their missiles! Help Please! [XRM]

Post by Ender_Xenocide » Sat, 9. Mar 13, 20:12

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem on Terran Conflict (latest version). I have a wing of around 10 Argon Centaurs, which I plan to grow to around 30, and their main ammunition-based armament is (supposed to be) Hornet missiles. I've been testing this wing out on a couple of pirate capships in Split Fire only to discover that they happily waste Hornets on m4s and m3s (which they can waste anyway), but they never fire a single one a m7s or bigger! This is quite a problem, as 10 Centaurs carrying 30+ Hornets each (fire probability = 100%) should annihilate capships with no losses at all.

I'm suspecting that this is because the AI considers Hornets low-yield anti-heavy fighter/corvette munition, but since I have FOUR player HQs pumping out Centaurs, a capped Aran fully kitted out to carry them, and a complex of TEN missile factories producing+-360 Hornets/hour, I'm REALLY hoping this is not the case! :cry: If there's something simple I'm missing or, if necessary, a mod that will fix this, please tell me!

I should mention that I'm running XRM, but I thought I should post this here anyway as it seems to me to be a core AI issue. Hope I'm right. :?:

It most likely has something to do with XRM because it totally changes the game. Best of asking your question in the XRM thread in Scripts & Modding...

Correct, but in the meantime can anyone confirm or deny this AI fighter/Hornet target-related behaviour in vanilla X3TC?
