So I just did an auto Battle in Ships with this lineup:FivesBiggsFOTFPTFPAdv. Tie... with reinforcements:Scimitar2nd3rd4thIssue is... When Biggs dies (first one to die), Scimitar comes in and ... attacks! wtheck?! Why didn't Scimitar use cloak, with Fives the target?Anyone know how the AI works on auto?Thanks.

Perhaps auto for us is not as smart as when the AI defends, because I too have never seen Scimitar not cloak when coming in as reinforcement ... when it is the AI's Scimitar :(

Ships battle is broken, and no fixes are on the horizon. It was put in as a way to force you to get additional content for zeta mats, and the mechanics were never really given much thought. You can have a fully maxed fleet and you will still get beat by someone with a wack fleet that's 100,000 GP less than you. The AI will always do things that are dumb like not cloaking or keep attacking tie fighter........

I've never ever seen the scimitar reinforce and nit stealth somebody.Ability blocked perhaps?

Nope auto ai is not intelligent and i wouldn't do it until it's a guaranteed win

If we want the scimitar to be the first reinforcement, should he be in the left most slot?

I once saw a Cap ship fail to reinforce on three consecutive opportunities. There's no accounting for the AI's taste.

Yea I remember clearing some of the capital ship challenges because eventually after many tries, the AI screws up and doesn't send reinforcements.

It may be a bug. It could be bad AI.

Regardless, don't auto ships. Lol

That's a known strategy for the challenges, but I actually saw the no reinforcement thing happen in arena. It was like seeing a unicorn or a 7 carb drop.
