Default Re: Ships Orders

What’s the problem exactly?
Ramming strategy does not require any weapons on board the ramming ship.
When you use capture enemy ship you will need a weapon to stay at the front line. The ship will try to capture an enemy ship even without weapons but the enemy shields must be lowered by another ship. As soon as the shields are down, the capture ship will head for its target but most of the time the target ship will be blown up when the capture ship arrives. but if the capture ship has a weapon it will stay at the front all the time and might be on time to catpure an enemy without shields.
It is not a bug that ships without weapons or weapons that won't work against the enemy (i.e. boarding parties against ships with shields) try to disengage from the enemy IMHO. Who really wants his maybe even damaged ships to sit in front of the enemy unable to do anything and wait to be blown to pieces by him?
