Herman, they're conducting rescue operations and you want em to keep on trucking ? A tad bloodthirsty, aren't ya ?

 

Seriously, though, I have observed the behaviour you report. But I have also observed the group continuing to move after a short period, sometimes upon re-attack.

Agree, that´s what i observe too. Sometimes they stop, sometimes they start movingagain.

Maybee Tony can expalin the logic behind it?

I'm all about Brad's explanation, I've always been fond of the pause. I suppose we could look into it at some point.

Personally if I were the one neck deep in salt water, I'd not be very happy if they didn't stop and try to bring me on board a still floating ship. On the other hand, sometimes you have to run to save what's still floating.

 

I can see why it would go both ways.
