Add standoff sniper enemy (#45) EnemyStandoffComponent holds a preferred distance from the nearest player ship instead of ramming (advance beyond it, retreat inside retreat_range_factor of it, drift laterally in the comfortable band between) - never paired with a pursuit component. EnemyRangedWeaponComponent mirrors VesselWeaponComponent for an enemy: fires an EnemyProjectile aimed at the target's CURRENT position rather than led, so a moving ship can dodge it (projectile_speed 260 vs the interceptor's 460 max_speed). Registered in EnemyDefinitions so it's placeable from a planet setup by enemy_id. test_sniper_enemy.gd went through a few iterations to get its own timing right: physics ticks can run ahead of a SceneTree test's own _process() clock under this device's load, so the cooldown-violation check reads the component's own fire_timer directly (a rising value means it refired) instead of comparing projectile counts against a wall-clock wait, and manually repositioned ships need their move_target re-pinned or Ship's own steering silently drives them back to the stale target. Part of the #40 conquest-mechanic breakdown. 2026-08-15 21:23:01 +02:00			`[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3]`
