As for Brain in the Box…you mean that thing that fucks up the route settings all the time? Last night our fleet essentially bifurcated, one group took route A (32 jumps) the other took route B (32 jumps) and no, it was not safer vs. shorter as people in both groups had them set to shorter. It seems it decided to pick randomly between the starting point and destination. I think, if it can’t handle such a basic function, that it still needs work.

The autopilot has always done that - randomly choose between two equivalent routes


In 8 years I have never seen it this bad.



I think you mean you've never seen it this inconvenient. Saying one equivalent route is bad and the other is good just makes no sense (a computer generated route is neither good nor evil - it just is).

I think the bifurcation issue is also more about convenience and less about morales / virtue. If I had to choose between coding the game to figure out who wants to travel together and letting the players simply and easily compare routes - I'd be in favor of the latter. If it's a group - then some is in charge. That person should be responsible for prventing the fleet from splitting up - not the game.


No, I mean I have never seen a fleet essentially split in half when starting at the same location and travelling to the same destination. In the 8 years I have been playing it has not happened and I have been in many fleets travelling many jumps. Not at this level. And it would not be much of a problem if the player could all pick the same route, but you are not offered that option. The algorithm used in the past had no issues with this.

And randomly splitting up fleets due to an in-game bug is bullshit. How about instead of your ship aligning to the selected target it periodically aligns in some other random direction? Hey, it is up to you to make sure you ship is aligning correctly. Roll
