Bobby AI and the current system

[DracoDej]

I am confused about bobby AI in the current build of starmade

1. If a ship is in a fleet, do its turrets still require bobby AIs to function?

2. How do you ensure bobby ai stays active when you mess with its settings?

1. Yes. Theoretically, at least. Look at it as hedging your bets.

2. Go to the radial menu after you tinker with your turret, select "Structure" then find either Turret Collective or Rail System Collective and click the button that says "Activate All Turrets".

Thank you very much

If for no other reason than that the fleet command UI has no way to tell individual turrets to prioritize missiles or capital ships or astronauts, you still need a Bobby AI on your turrets.
