The Ashes DLC ships aren't great in overworld battles, they are more designed for hands on control. For example - one of their weapons will do continuous damage in when it goes through a ship - in ship mode this works how intended, but in overworld mode there's no "going through a ship" it's a numbers game.

Do the other fleets work as intended?

yes its specificly the one with the dreadnaught that for some reason they just sit there and let themselves be slaughtered

like its not like the other fleet is dieing from overworld battles like they straight up just solo with 0 losses my fleet even tho they got no cruisers or anything high and even smaller fleets like 200 fighters can take out the dread fleet with no opposition whatsoever

Could you prepare a save file to showcase this issue? Make it real simple for me to replicate (instructions help) and email it over to paul @i 11 games . com?

I'll check it out.

thanks

this seems to be random but i did notice that they are more likely to take casualties if my dread fleet is inside the base i am atacking but they still lose in the end also that would be hard cuz id have to redo an entire 30 hour playtrough to get back to this point with the bounty hunters but ill provide my current save with the mu with bounty hunters it was almost allways a guarantee and i know that the same stuff 100% happens againts the military but with mu sometimes they fight back and sometimes they dont but even when they do they still lose really badly also as far as instructions go theres not much to do all you need to do is make the dread fleet sit outside the base not have it on patrol assets or guard position and just let the enemy walk to them and most of the times from what i notice the enemy takes 0 damage while my whole fleet gets utterly obliterated
