Ello,
I have noticed that right now colonists, regardless of being drafted or not never find cover.
It would be really nice if non-drafted colonists would try to avoid the battle or at least find cover.Same could go for drafted colonists, my reason being is that they stand like lemons in the line of fire until you order them. This can be a real pain if you select 5 at a time.

Yes you do have the option to press the space bar and pause the game to do it manually, but if they a near a wall that will provide cover from the incoming fire, they could run to it. Unless of course the player chooses to override it. My main reason for ths is i have lost a few colonists needlessly because a hauler has decided that mid battle it is a good time to collect that metal behind enemy lines. So you have to scramble to draft him and save him.

This might be to much hassle to add to the game but i thought it was worth a shot
Cheers,
Scotty
