InformationUpdated for version 5.10

Overview

The 'Mimic' default behaviour is a "fire and forget" solution for copying default behaviours from other ships and forming neatly organised fleets, it does not add any extra functionality to ships,

Parameters and Requirements

The repeat orders default behaviour requires at least 2 ships, one to be the fleet leader and the other to mimic. The ship that is mimicking must have equal or greater skill than the behaviour that it is mimicking. As an example a ship mimicking another vessel with the "police" behaviour must have a skill level equal or greater than the 1 star required for the police behaviour. In essence if a ship can't be setup with a particular default behaviour then it also can't mimic it from another ship. Mimic cannot be used to mimic repeat orders ships or ships that are being given queued orders.

Applications

Mimic is most useful for grouping ships with the same configuration and reducing setup time which also has the visual effect of reducing clutter in the property owned tab.
