There is no need at all to do that.
I thought the point was to have said AI platform detect and follow the human player first - THEN the ping and avoidance.

(What keeps a player from starting the mission with a ping, btw?)


I think however that this is one of the many limitations we do face in the mission editor. The best we can do is use a script to assign it a course which will, in theory, lead it away from the player sub.

I believe the only way to achieve this is to modify the doctrine files - but that's not something I recommend. (It would be anidea to allow us to include a custom doctrine file for some platforms in a mission, overriding the default doctrine. However, then improvements in the 'base' script would not apply to that platform in that mission.)
