Had a few issues in my current game and would like to have some opinions on what is going on.

My fleets are acting a little strange. �Mostly what is happening is I send them to a planet and for some reason they end up warping outside. The actual system or they just don't do what I want. �They warp away from fights etc.

Now I control my own fleets and don't have any auto features for anything. �No stances etc. �the only thing I could think of is the preset stuff you set when designing your ships. �But my ships are warping away at full shields when attacking. �Or just plain not staying where I want them.

This is with legends and the most current official build.

Help it's driving me up the wall.

Set the fleets' homebases and assign them the defend posture and base only range. Now they shouldn't do anything on their own unless the planet they are based at is under attack.

I had this same problem then realized they were out of fuel and were warping out to refuel. I had told the fleet to fuel up but for some reason they did not. Then as soon as they entered battle they warped out except for the 1 destroyer that had fuel. Poor little guy.

Postures do work when the fleet is not automated (at least that's what I've seen in my games) they just have slower response times.
