Re: Ship strategies
It is best to set them to "Maximum Weapons Range". Optimal won't work very well. Ships in strategic combat tend to move then fire, or fire then move. They don't move, fire, move.

Re: Ship strategies
Set your max range to primary strat=max range, then secondary strat=dont' get hurt, works much better IMHO,

Wouldn't that cause the ship to move closer rather than move out of range?

No. It will follow the max range strategy until it can no longer do so (enemies are faster, and closing to point-blank, etc.), then it will ram. At least, that is what should happen. |

Re: Ship strategies
Ah...so
It is tailored made to the opponent's particular characteristics (in this case his "faster speed").
