Setting attack strategy on ships

[Evrett]

I know that one can set the attack strategy when designing a ship but is there a way to change the attack range straegy for a fleet or individual ships. My ships are not getting within blaster range of a space port and the shields regen too quickly for missles to be effective. I want to change the strat from stand off to point blank but I cant find the setting.

Hello Evrett, the setting you are looking for is in the upper left of the Ship Design screen.
There is a pull down menu for Standoff, All Weapons, Point Blank.

Does that setting change the behavior for all ships of that design or just ones built after the change. The ones I've got are set to stand off and they need to be point blank to kil lthis base but in general I'd pefer them stand off

I did this change the other day and it effects all ships of that current design. so any older ships using out dated designs need to be changed too.

How does one change old ship strat setting ? Retrofit >?

Nah, just select the ship in question and click on the design name shown in the details window at the bottom left.

It's a bit unintuitive, but even if you cannot change a currently used design in terms of components, you can still change its behavior and save it.
