Hello.

I prefer to post here before Bug report. It could be one miss on my configuration but I have this VCR problem. I do not find a way to start VCR against harmless pods (suply pods, gold pods, life pods...)

That are the test that I made, I have the rst to send it:

1. Lanch N (arround 20) Ore pods to one X/Y
2. Send one wing to this X/Y
   1. Attack Enemies ON
   2. Target/Intercept all Pods ON
   3. Other Switches OFF
3. Send one ship to this X/Y
   1. Configued on "Attack"
   2. Target Soft ON
   3. Target Harmless Pods ON
   4. Other Switches OFF

I did the sim with last host and I got lot of "Dull Fight". It seems that the VCR start but that any wing/ship fire at any pod. The ship have PTT so it's not a problem of firepower, the ORD is not used so the ship did not fire any shot to the pods.

That's the logs of the hostrun.

So my question is... Am I doing something wrong? What can I do to start VCR against harmless pods?

I have waves of privateer pods and no way to start combat against them. With old hosts I used wing and ships to destroy that waves of pods before they hit my minefields but now, I do not see the way to do it.
