Ships should default to traveling at their cruise speed

Question

Ships should default to traveling at their cruise speed

Opened this issue 4 years ago · 4 comments

Describe what is missing
Ships default to traveling at warp 0, so issuing a waypoint mysteriously fails. They should default to traveling at their cruise speed (optimal speed for regular engines, free speed for ramscoops) like they did in Stars!

I've been seeing them all default to warp 6 even if their optimal speed is less than that. But yeah, they don't have the optimal speed set by engine type.

Perhaps if they have previous move orders, they should default to traveling at the same speed they were going at before?

sounds good I guess.

Hmm. For some reason when I try to read the engine component's optimal speed, it comes back as zero, even though I see it right there in the intel XML file...
