Scimitar (Maul's) Ship Issue (as reinforcment)

So I just did an auto Battle in Ships with this lineup:
Fives
Biggs
FOTFP
TFP
Adv. Tie
... with reinforcements:
Scimitar
2nd
3rd
4th

Issue 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.

I've never ever seen the scimitar reinforce and nit stealth somebody.

Ability blocked perhaps?

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 :(

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.
