Stealth and fuel efficiency based targeting

#1 Post by jinlanid »

If an object is an valid target of a weapon, then the chance of be chosen as a target is:
1 Higher stealth, lower chance
2 Higher fuel efficiency, lower chance
3 Fighter < ships
4 Interceptor < fighter < bomber

Those are just chance calculation. An interceptor maybe calculated as have just 1% chance, but it can still be chosen.
It's still easy to waste fire power though.

A fighter is very unlikely to be chosen as canon's target, but it still can. That explains "Sometimes a fighter can block a canon round for its mother ship".

You can give stealth part to a ship to lower its chance to be chosen.
