s/m ships don't auto dock/ auto undock with capital ships's they're assigned to?

[BloodBane]

So I'm running into an odd issue that's i've een trying to find a sollution for without success. I assigned my smaller ships (small and medium) to my capital ships respectively to their capacities. Now i initialy expected them to automatically dock with them when the capital ship was not in combat/danger and auto undock when they entered combat/danger. But they don't. I've searched through forums and guides and have not found a solution to this. Any ideas?

I have the same issue with Teladi carrier... the one that looks like that ship graveyard mothership from Homeworld 2 (looks like an umbrella). No known workaround yet. Solution until fixed: stow your carrier, or sell it and buy more productive ships. Destroyers work fairly well now (turret issues have been mostly fixed)

I've cam up with a relitively acceptable alternitive until it works properly or i learn how to do it correctly. I've made the smaller ships into their own wing and manualy tell them to dock/undock/attack. but it gets rather tiresome in large scale battles. and just assign my destroyers to protect my flagship (argon carrier) thankfully the destroyers are doing their job but the smaller ships seem to have rocks for brains when assigned to protect my carrier. I cant wait till they give us player based ship building.

Also the homeworld series is awesome.

It seems to be intentional that the fighters are only docked when the mothership is travelling between sectors. At least that is my theory & observation so far.

It does sort of make sense logistically. But its pretty messy. Wish we had a toggle in the ship behavior for that.

It'd be nice if there was a "stay docked unless combat" command. Traveling can take a long time otherwise. Over all I have very few issues with the game.
