how do you do this? Mine always take a straight b line path adn are always seen by the AI
what I mean is when I am not directly watching them move as in I have the screen centered on another part of the map. I think the behavior is caused by the fact that ships tend to just teleport to their destination when they are off the screen.
Ive noticed this behavior too, are you using custom ship sets?
while i modify some of the ships to better suit my needs im using a standard shipset (YOR i think)
