Requesting (Ai Basic Task) block to have the features "Set Home" and Toggle "Follow Home" Options
Space Engineers 1>
Recently, I tried to make an automated fleet using action relays and beacons between the vessels. But when I was about to configure the "AI Basic Task", it lacked a fundamental feature... The "Set Home" and "Follow/Stop following home".
Adding the "Set Home" feature would enable a list of Beacons in the dection radius to be set as a "Flagship". It would be very useful for automation if used with action relays and other automation blocks. You could trigger a general signal between ships to follow a specific "Home" or Flagship, which would be of your choice in the current elegible "Homes".
It would enable your own ship or another vessel, to be a flagship. Capable of forming fleets for various tasks (as the AI block suggests).
The "Follow Home/ Stop following home" Would allow quicker switch between Idle crafts to follow the Home/ flagship.
Those additions to this specific AI Block would make a tremendous difference and make automation for fleets much more practical than using AI Recorders, which often takes time that you maybe don't have against attackers.
It is an option that should be added, since the "Follow home" is already present in the Ai Basic Task configuration area. It has a list of Beacons to be followed or unfollowed in the manual configuration menu, but lacks further orders in a craft's toolbar and other automation blocks (e.g: Timer blocks, event controllers, action relays)
Other alternatives that are not ideal/ practical: The current "Set grid position" and "Set player position" can't really be used as an ideal option for the tasks mentioned, since they lack the dynamic needs of a fleet or general tasks without fixed points. "Follow player" kind of works, but is very limited to it's operational capabilities and has a bug which makes it follow only the host of a server, not the player who sent the signal.
I like this feedback
