I have noted a change too. I have always been a heavy user of UT's, in all games since X2 The Threat.One of my UT's refused to jump while under attack and died under the guns of a Xenon Q. I reloded to observe the OOS replay and watched as my UT came out of the sector gate - that it was soon followed by the Q. The Q closed in on it and the the UT (just a humble Mercury Super freighter) released its fighter drones but made no attempt to jump, and was killed. I reloaded again for a second replay to check out the actions of the UT as it tried to escape the Q.I was astonished and astounded to find that while the control panel info said sell wares; energy cells... the action was saying 'killing ... Xenon Q'Very mad UT behaviour. Obviously the pilot is insane, or crazed by spaceweed.but since have noted that all my UTs do the same when under attack instead of jumping so I suspect is is some sort of change made to the fight command software mark 1 and 2 ... which as far as I know from all my other experiences they need as part of their defence routine.UT behaviour notes.1) UTs should never need emergency jump enabled to jump out on being attacked. They are supposed to jump asap and in past versions only failed to do so if out of energy cells.Question; in TC all my UT's sold their mosquito missiles which I thoughtfully tried to equip them with for mosquito missile defence mosquito enabled (as 'missiles are now a major part of the XUniverse experience'). Has anyone noticed this to change in AP yet? Do they still try making money on the side by selling off their defence assets?Edit adding:so far no. they all seem to die attacking their agressors. Or just quielty go on (I only have 10 operating atm.). So far I have only recieved a message when one is destroyed. I do receive the verbal computer message during an attack, but not follow up message for them jumping out, probably because they have not been jumping.Edit adding: I vote that it is a bug or an overlook with some not-obvious-change made to AP, by someone who forgot about how it may affect UT behaviour... (Maybe in this AP war everyone has to fight, including UTshope not..)
