Stygil kiting

[lunar thistle]

So one of the imperium ships, the stygil is always kiting me, it stays out of attack range and once it does get into range it fires a few dozen volleys and starts kiting again which is super annoying because my ship can't get close either to start firing its own missiles

How is this a bug

not a bug

speed is another weapon, if you are not fast enough, enemies can do that. You should be faster or have multiple ships to flank kites

i spoke to Captain Redstone and he told me that it's a bug, he has my save to and he told me that he will relay the info to Walt on it, i thought it was fixed in the recent update but i guess its not

also, this kiting thing didn't happen before the start of phase 2 updates, i can still remember having a ship with a giant block of armor in the front and encountering the stygil, it never kitted like right now. it always stayed in attack range shooting constantly.

P.S the ship moved 15.2 m/s

that's so so slow

To be clear the problem isn't that stygil kites, rather than it kites outside of its own firing range. With that being said this would be better to report in #1023036219040464906
