AAaarrgg! Stupid AI.

[Twsted]

I was in space, because I blew up. Some how I survived and no one killed me. oK.
So now I ordered one of my ships to come to me by right clicking my ship and "Fly And Wait Urgent" order.
It came just when I have 1% of O2 and flew right by me, made a turn and left... I ordered it to Fly and WAIT. The key word WAIT WAIT WAIT!!
It did that TWICE !!.... So I died....omg, so irritating and annoying and frustrating.

Why did it do that? come on!! seriously!?

[Rei Ayanami]

Did it have any other orders queued and what was set as its default behavior?
Was it a subordinate of another ship or station?

[Twsted]

It was docked at a station. I don't remember if it has any orders. Its been docked for a long time. It was a very small ship.

Usually the AI is quite good at stopping where told and waiting, I've been rescued a couple of times by one, even a 1 star NPC managed it. Maybe it's another command I used that's just "Fly to me and wait", I'll have to look up the exact words .

[Twsted]

Aaah damn I didn't know about F9.
Thanks (oddible) Ill try that next time.

@Socratatus) Ya, I tried that twice. it came and left me in space to die.

if you move after you give it command to get you, the ship in some casses will go where you where at that point and get uppdated and then return for you, this is my experience. might not be the fact all the time.

Fly and wait urgent orders? Is that in vanilla? In vanilla, if you use fly and wait, it will stay there unless it has another command after that, which it will proceed to perform that order.
