[Bug/Feedback] TEC ships not group jumping correctly

I ran into a problem while playing as the TEC.  I had an Akkan Battlecruiser and about 10 Cobalt frigates.  I had them in group 1 and told them to group move.  When I ordered them to move to another planet, only the Akkan jumped!  Needless to say I was quite surprised to watch my single cap ship trying to take on a fairly large force solo! :D

 

I got some footage of the problem happening at the link.  I apologize for the poor quality, but it's the best that WeGame would let me do.

 

Also, something that would be really awesome to see is individual shots doing damage to the ships instead of a once-per-second update of the damage. 

 

This has been a lot of fun so far guys, keep up the good work!  :congrat:

Yeah, it's trying to bomb the planet  (or, alternatively, colonize).  This is, to my knowledge, a known bug-enough people have posted about it that it should be, anyway.

The issue seems to be that colonize/bomb is taking precedence over move and/or attack.  Happens with all factions at present.

I had the same problem as the OP, but only when playing TEC -- my group (chock full of flak, light, scout, and siege frigates plus a few light carriers, marza and kol battleship) was set to group move, and I told it to attack a neighboring planet.

Note that the "group" in this context was actually comprised of 2-3 "fleets" in the game sense

When I went back to look at how things were going, only the marza had jumped... the others were still lingering in the original planet deep in the gravwell.  I can only guess the tardy fleets were getting into formation before proceeding, but still -- no ship  should have jumped until all the ships in the group were ready.

I have not run into this playing vasari or advent.

I should add that I have only recently (last game or two) started actually using game "fleets", so perhaps that's why I haven't hit this behavior as advent or vasari.

Ironclad was sent a savegame from me so they ought to be able to fix this issue.  More saves can't hurt though in pinning down these issues of if you have a good one right where the problem occurs, send it to:
