Well both the computer side and the player. I will try your the Lua code out for the human. But some things I've noted is an entire computer side/AI Task Group coming to a stop because the HVU is crippled and dead in the water when they would have scuttled/detached it as well. So the AI should either detach the cripple or scuttle her to fight on. I can't remember what scenario it was where I slaughtered the AI as they were sitting ducks still attached to the command vessel.

Thanks for the code. It should help the human player (though they can just detach a cripple as well).

Have you noticed the numbers of scenarios being submitted has gone down?
