this might stop the DD from picking a course directly behind it
if you can use 3 inputs....what do you think?

Random function has only two inputs: min and max and it returns a real number between those two values.
I looked over my code for the AI searches. Here's how the AI picks a new location to search in:
Ship:WaitAction(waittime);
newheading = Ship:Random(0, 360);
Ship:TurnToHeading(newheading, 1.0);
rundist = Ship:Random(HK_MIN_NEXT_SPIRAL_DISTANCE, HK_MAX_NEXT_SPIRAL_DISTANCE);
it searched a place and now waits a random time (at all stop) then it chooses a new random heading, turns to that new heading at full throttle, then chooses a new random distance from it's curent spot to go to and search again.
Now maybe when it turns to it's new heading the game allows it to go backwards
I'll update the code to force it to go forwards a small distance before executing the turn to the new heading. I'll release a new version here shortly with this change.
