Understanding battle strategies...newbie question

Okay

Under the Damage tab we have a button called "Damage target until all weapons gone"

Which is the on/off state?

Same thing.

Never looked at the edit strategy window, but now that I did, I have one thought: NEEDS CANCEL BUTTON!!!

I asked...

Under the Damage tab we have a button called "Damage target until all weapons gone"

Which is the on/off state?

To which Phoenix-D responded...

Same thing.

To which I ask "Same thing what?"

[Phoenix-D]

as the previous post. Little dot = on, no dot = off

I think this area needs to be explored more... Or are we all holding back our strategies here... I am holding mine back

Yes, I can understand and appreciate wanting to keep a strategy or strategies secret. A lot of effort, testing, trial and error went into learning it. And to divulge it may mean that the next game may be more difficult to win.

That being said, I think there is a difference between
a) How the strategy menu actually works and
b) The particular strategy a player employs.

Under a), for example, we have choices under the "Tageting Priority Order" of the Firing tab, but how does the computer implement our choices?

It does not seem to be in order of possibility like the Primary/Secondary Choices under the Movement Tab.

What algorithym does the computer use? Do the four choices we make have equal weight or does the computer assign values to our choices like:
First choice 40%
Second choice 30%
Third choice 20%
Fourth choice 10%

Any comments?
