Guys, it's has nothing to do with renown.

Neutral ships have a bug where if you shoot at them, their own friends will finish them off. As far as I understand it, Cdre Gibs suggestion should fix that problem.

Sounds like he's talking about renown to me :-?

Either way, neutral ships have a few bugs associated with them; one being the renown, and the other being the stupid AI shooting at teammates.

Ok, all for it. But why not name the countries something like Norway in Convoy rater than Convoy1, etc. :hmm:

Pardon me for asking, but this is a BIG BIG BIG thing you are suggesting, isn't it?

Doesn't sound that hard to implement me.

For every current "Nation" another nation "Nation_Convoy" is needed.

All "Nation_Convoy" should be hostile, even as "Nation" is neutral. Axis of course not.

Wouldn't be the easiest solution be a tool that automatically adds those nations, instead of manually including it in a mod package?

Need new flags, new nations, new scripts... etc etc

This could also be done programmatically. Basically needs to replace all occurences of "American" for "American_Convoy" (if in Convoy). Ctrl-F / Ctrl-H might do already.

It can be done programmatically, but it also has to be done selectively... Meaning not all of the ships have to be changed.

Meaning someone has to sit there, picking and choosing which ships have to be changed. For thousands of entries, for dozens of nations.
