CSCs Wander Away

[AlStar]

Hey, while playing a game in .97 and getting further than I ever have before, I started to notice that the CSCs would stop holding station or patroling the inner system.

Instead, they'd slowly wander off in some random direction.

Here's a screenshot of one such wandering ship:


They still work just fine, but it can take a long time to fly out to them, plus, if they get much further out, I won't even be able to see them any more.

edit: and here's another one that's even further out:

They start moving when they get in a fight and don't stop. The dwarg cynodist effect stops them from moving, though. Not sure if that would help with a modding effort.

Once... a CSC was moving with a reason. When I saw it move... i was like... what the. Then, i went in the direction where the CSC was moving away from and I see a group of sung citedels. Very scary sight.

in 0.97 i saw a CSC chaseing a worldship. i figured moving CSCs were more widely implemented. ( saw one moveing under its own power in 0.9 or somthing)

I've fixed the problem of CSCs wandering away in the next version--thanks to reports from the forum.

it isn't a problem to me... but ok.

mabye the CSCs could attack enemy bases if they might be able to win? that would be cooler than using the engines for station keeping.

Yea... wind slavers will kill it eventually.
