Amizaur, there is a script instruction =>
collision avoidance.
It works quite fine
On each mission I make, I always use an initialization trigger calling a script where I used collision avoidance and pathfinding for all plateform susceptible of needing this (sometimes on more than 20 plateforms !).
I could say it works 95% of the time.
On one recent MP mission, a WASP was on a collision road with a freigther, I was in the OHP and my human helo (Darksythe maybe ? I couldn't remember exactly who he was, sorry ...) told me : "there is going be a collision problem !"
I told him : it is supposed to be managed with the script (and I crossed fingers)
And the Helo said : you right, I can see the WASP manoeuvering well to avoid the collision.
So it REALLY looks like it works quite well.
I saw more collision problem inside a formation than with independant ship vs indepedant ship I must admit.
Sometimes, when a formation is engaged, some ships could collide with ships of their group.
But it's really not that often if you use collision avoidance script.
