Subject says it all: I am aware of the global option to constrain the pursuit range of units in FRD mode. However, is there any way to set this to a smaller value for individual groups? An example where this would help: in my current game I chose to deal with highly annoying small groups of Vampire Claws, which were left after conquering AI systems, by leaving a small group of Mk I Space Tanks at the new command stations. Unfortunately, if the Tanks are just sitting there, they will not start a concentrated attack on decloaking Vampire Claws without manual intervention. Setting them on FRD mode would do the job without requiring targeting micro-management, but then even a single AI ship popping up at a wormhole will cause the overzealous commanders to leave their guard duty, to be promptly exploited by the Vampire Claws waiting cloaked just outside the range of my Tachyon Emitters. It would be nice if one could reduce the defenders awareness and pursuit radius to keep them close to their station.
My apologies if this has been covered already elsewhere. And my thanks in advance for tips on alternative ways to deal with this tactical scenario. Building many turrets just to deal with a few stragglers seems to be a waste to me.
