I’ve set one of my explorer on auto-spy, to check, again, if auto-spy could be useful in any way. The explorer is near an enemy system of the Zaracsandir Territory. They’ve just declared on me (it’s our second war). So what’s the first thing this auto-spy explorer wants to do?... Retrofit!?!
Here’s an overview of the situation:
The explorer has plenty of fuel. I’m at war. It’s in enemy territory. It’s in reach of many enemy systems. It’s on auto-spy.
Yet, it wants to go retrofit!?!
I’d prefer that it would do nothing. At least, that way, it would still be near an enemy system, and I could order it to go into one of those.
It seems to me that the priorities of an exploration ship on auto-spy should be, in that order:
- go into enemy systems to spy on them
- not get destroyed
- make sure it has enough fuel to reach the closest friendly refueling point; ideally, if it needs to refuel, a warning (message) should be given about that to the player so another auto-spy could be sent to replace it.
