fire while chasing

Hi, I'm sure this has been done but couldnt find a post saying how. I'm looking to make ships fire while they move, specificly, while chasing fleeing fleets since the way it is now isnt so great and fleets often get away. thanks in advance.

if you simply move your fleet along the escape route, your ships will fire at any enemy within range.

 

some ships will be better at this than others, so experiment with your fleet composition to find what works best.

And some capital ships can disable ships from jumping away :)

You could also use jump degrigation buildings in your wells to slow the fleets down.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but if you're using Entrenchment, you might also enable fighter behavior on your other ships, this will keep them in motion a lot more.

the only problem is that they wont actually follow the ships (chase them) i'd have to micro that and as soon as i click to attack they stop moving letting the enemy get away, i guess i want them to follow the enemy when they start to move and keep attacking while in chase (idk maybe im not being clear)

i am considering this but im not sure if i want my fleets flying around like they're on crack (lol maybe i'll just put it on the frigs)
