The age old SSD issue
« on: August 06, 2017, 08:18:44 AM »
The issue of when SSDs go in the exact opposite direction than you tell them to.

Is it solvable? Or is it just one of those things we have to live with?

do you want to make a new game engine? i actually don't think it is fixable on EaW, but i could be wrong. though i kinda want to make a new engine someday...
do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

but, i'm a member of the PA at heart, and my wish here is to join the ranks of grand admirals... sorry, the elite imperial alignment

Unfortunately pathfinding in EAW is hardcoded and it struggles with all larger units (not just SSDs).  The solution is to not have SSDs at all but I don't think anyone would appreciate it if we took them out!

Dang. Ah well. I suppose I'll have to keep gently edging them on.
