Yep, my own fleets retreat regularly. Running away is better than taking out a "few more ships" and losing a lvl 5+ capship (or two). Retreating is closer to human tactics than throwing units away, IMHO.
Awesome, thanks Annatar!
I did a search and didn't see any related posts, so I thought I'd throw this up there. I started a single player 3 v 3 game today with the new 1.03 patch and locked the teams. When I loaded the saved game, suddenly the AI started pelting me with missions and it looked like the teams had become unlocked! When the other 3 AI's were defeated, I was not granted victory. Is there a setting I missed somewhere, or is this a genuine bug?
Scratch that, crackling is still there. It seemed to be gone when I tested in single player, but in multiplayer last night it was back. Still looking for a "cure".
Adding me to the list of users with an SB Audigy 2 ZS where changing the SoundUseHardware value to TRUE fixed the constant crackling I was hearing. I recommend adding this to the FAQ, as I bet there are a lot of Audigy 2 users still out there.
