Status: offline 		I know that one can set the attack strategy when designing a ship but is there a way to change the attack range straegy for a fleet or individual ships. My ships are not getting within blaster range of a space port and the shields regen too quickly for missles to be effective. I want to change the strat from stand off to point blank but I cant find the setting.

Hello Evrett, the setting you are looking for is in the upper left of the Ship Design screen.
There is a pull down menu for Standoff, All Weapons, Point Blank.

It's a bit unintuitive, but even if you cannot change a currently used design in terms of components, you can still change its behavior and save it.
