Summary	0000102: Cruiser not attacking fighters when ordered
Description	In a created mission, when a cruiser (like a deimos) is ordered to attacked a fighter or a bomber, it won't move to its current, even to reach beam range. However, when ordered to attack a capital ship, there's no problem, it'll move towards it.

Skippy 2004-02-11 20:44 reporter ~0000189	This is present in all the builds (but impossible to test in the original FS2)

Goober5000 2004-02-12 05:03 administrator ~0000192	Um, I don't think this is a valid AI behavior. You should build the mission so that the cruiser is scripted to move to a certain waypoint. If you can't predict where the enemy fighter is going to be, then you should deploy a fighter wing of your own to intercept it. Not a cruiser.

Skippy 2004-02-12 06:20 reporter ~0000195	The cruiser is supposed to attack Alpha wing (ai-chase order), and Alpha wing is supposed to lure it from it's current position AND prevent him from reaching its final position if that cruiser moves to intercept. I can't be more precise, or by PM only (it's a project mission)
