      Okay, so i was in a modified version of Sol, so there was just one ship there, Patrol Boat - Gunboat class. I tap the ~ key, pointmyself at this victim and let a few shots fly. Instantly he goes hostile.
      He now starte flying around me, always turning and moving in some direction. Sometimes he is pointed right at me. We kept flying around eachother for like 3-5 minutes, with me pecking away at him till he died. He fired 2 rockets and a couple of light cannon rounds. Thats it.
      Nothing more.
      Anyone know whatever could have caused the ship to behave in such a stupid manner?
      Only change i have made to him is to swap his Raven rockets with an almost identical version of my own design.

      I don't have an answer for you to just plug in, but I have seen this sort of behavior when watching two AI fighters go at each other in close quarters. First they try to accelerate in some direction, then they turn to fire at the other guy, then they turn to accelerate again... Without getting off a shot...

      This sort of behavior is frustrating to observe. I think it's related to the charging behavior you see sometimes, except that the fighters don't go flying away from each other after each pass...

      But I'm not sure.

      How, exactly, did you change the raven rockets, btw?

      Can you reproduce it?

      Eugene: I just made the Raven come in two flavors, one with a high mass and max ammo for capships, and a pod for fighters that's light and stores fewer shots. The max ammo for the capship ones can also be increased with addditional outfits. The weap resource has barely been changed.
