Description
[3.6.0-Orion] (0028) Automated Dreadnought is mostly useless for combat due to Line computer problems in Orion
Game Version
3.6.0-Orion (0028)
What version do you use?
GoG
What expansions do you have installed?
Do you have mods enabled?
No
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Just to illustrate that combat computer problems are not limited to the Artillery combat computer, the Line combat computer also has significant problems, in that it will happily close to a shorter distance than the minimum distance for a majority of a ship's armament.
A particularly unfortunate example of this is the Automated Dreadnought (player version, with Jump Drive). It has a Line combat computer and a weapon load-out that's heavy on plasma cannons. Plasma cannons have a minimum range, but the Line combat computer doesn't realize this, so the Dreadnought will close to short range, and then basically only have its main beam weapon available (aside from its small/point defense weapons that hardly do any damage by comparison).
Steps to reproduce the issue.
1. Repair the Automated Dreadnought.
2. Send it in to battle an Ancient Mining Drone expansion fleet.
3. The Automated Dreadnought will close to short range and be unable to use the vast majority of its firepower.
