  • The AI convoy ships never seem to leave their "frame." They seem to mill around only in the confines of the original convoy.
  • If you have ever seen border collies managing sheep, I can only say it is the closest thing to it.

Now, you would think this would be the perfect time to cause more disruption, by trying to torpedo the ones standing still.

Won't work if you are using any sort of automatic target solution -- the game engine knows where the ships are supposed to be, and will target that spot. Not the ship. Until it cranks through the data storm you threw at it, at which point the ships will be moving again, anyway.
Can you clarify that? 'Cause I feel like I have my Bernard cozy on. It makes no sense.
