We all have come across times where in the midst of a battle our escort crosses us & we tk it ir dmg it.
Or in other cases teammates cross it & tk it.

Removing the exp nerf wld make ppl use escorts more, hence contributing to the balancing of subs...

Please rec & giv your thoughts to make this game better

Cheers!

I would rec if you were asking for reduced TK penalty for escorts, because it makes sense. TKing an escort isn't as bad as TKing a player's ship, and it shouldn't be penalized to the same extent. But I don't think removing it altogether is wise.

There are players out there who would go out of their way to sink escorts if there was no penalty at all.

agreed.

perhaps remove TK pen from your own because the most likely ship it will cross is yours. And if someone politely tells me that my escort is crossing them then I would gladly TK it for them.

I was very happy when I saw the patch for removing exp penalty by damage oneself.
However, shooting crossing escort still penalize your exp.

Look closer, the escort dose have same ID as the player do.
Perhaps damaging your own escort will never hurt other players.

I dont expect SDE will improve the AI of escort to not cross other ship any time soon (It will be great)
But Please remove the exp penalty by damage own escort too.

I always have an escort for CV, which rarely causes issues. But when I switch from CV to a ship of the line, I forget to take it off. I despise ships of the lines using escorts, and instead of looking like a hypocrite, I typically blow up my escort at the first chance I get. Would be nice to not ruin a round just to keep the battleship line clear

Removing the exp nerf will lead to people tk'ing escorts.

A better idea would be improved AI for escorts to get them to avoid other ships.

Simple:
Press 9, Right click and it changes where your escort is going.
Left Click and Deselects. (Such as scouts atm)

If you Right click a ship while escort is selected it will follow the selected ship following that ships exact speed while holding 2" Distance behind it. Auto-Correcting speed accordingly. (Escort will OH only if following a ship. It would maintain speed unless the escort does not go fast enough to match speed with the lead ship. This will automaticly break the auto control and it will continue @ max regular speed in the direction it was last in.)

Escort by default will not move til told to. (Sit Where you spawned @ 0 knots til told to move)

SO dont do this because some idiots MIGHT kill escorts for fun? Who would do this and who cares? It'll get boring. Just make repairs and fees zero for escort that is tk. We can't idiot proof the world. How fun can that be, and how long could it remain so? When you don't give little kids the attention they are craving, they get bored and do something else. If we banned every useful thing that someone might misuse, our world would be a different place today.
Or, they could just take a few min and remake the AI. If anyone has ever seen how an AI is written, you'll know how easy it is to adjust an existing AI. Depending on the game complexity, making one from scratch can be pretty easy. It's basically a looped flow chart. Add a collision check to the loop.

I've had plenty of people do it to me.

It would be far better to program a better AI. You seem to be contradicting yourself; Agreeing with me that a better AI would be good, yet claiming that people won't kill escorts for fun.

Of course they will. The community does plenty of stuff to get back at players/fleets. But fine, put it through, watch all the TK's, and watch the protests asking for bans for it.

Or, you can have a simple hard coded solution as you said.
