Hello all, my name is annikk and I recently started playing AI War: Fleet Command.
I love this game, and intend to play it a lot over the next few years. I also love the fact that it's an indie title; I spend a lot of time trying to support indie games, for example I have done a lot of work for
Eufloria making levels and level design tools, and a forum skin.
I've worked my way through the tutorials and played through my first campaign, in the middle of my second. I'm playing the campaigns in co-op with my friend Simon.
I have a question about engineers. Often times I'll want some engineers to automatically repair all the ships in my/Simon's fleets. So I send the engineers to the right system, and move them next to the fleet, and set them to FRD mode using V-rightclick. At this point, one of several things happens:
1) The engineers do nothing, and just sit there.
2) The engineers repair some of the ships, but mysteriously decide to leave others on low health/with damaged engines.
3) The engineers repair all of my ships, but refuse to repair any of Simon's.
In cases #2 and #3, I can repair the damaged ships by manually selecting the engineers and right-click on each ship in turn. However this takes ages and involves a lot zooming and micromanagement. What is going on there? How can I persuade the engineers to repair stuff properly?
