Only fleet leader engageing enemies?

I noticed today I had a fleeted group of cobalts. Where only the lead ship was firing at the enemy. The others were taking a smoke enjoying the sites. There were facing away from the battle. I'll post a screenie later and maybe the replay if you wan't.

Try turning off the mod and loading the game. If it loads fine it should be ok. If it crashes then they won't like that very much :P But post a screeny anyway if you could!

Ok, I took the time to watch the replay closely.  I also did on accident what you suggested with the load it without the mod. It ran fine. Which kinda suprised me. I think its possibly something to do with the sabotage reactor and its auto caste. I haven't located the moment when I caught em on a smoke. As I have been diddling with fleet mixes on this preticular game since 1.12 was released. Hard Ai still kinda sucks even though it's a world bettter than 1.05.

What I have consistantly noticed is say I have a Fleeted group of cobalts. I give the group an attack order. (NEEDED SQUAD ICON, but thats something for another thread.) The leader attacks said target. The other nine go off and cast Sabotage Reactor. Also it can be something that th

e fleet isn't even attacking. Turn off sabotage reactor things works fine. I'm adding a link to the save file.

Save file.

Going to continue to diddle with it.
