WolfKhanGeneral 1,301 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 I would like to suggest that there be an AI slot for open space, a companion that will fly one of your own ships and attack those who attack you, or who you attack. It'll use the ship you select down to the modules and even the crew members that you want the AI to use, but it cannot use the same ship as you. Put it up as a premium option, if you must, but this would be interesting to have. :) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WolfKhanGeneral 1,301 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 As a side note, if the number can be increased to 2, or even 3, companions, this would be a very entertaining option for ship collectors. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ntboble 57 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 OS alone is boring and dangerous, but i don't thing a IA companion is needed. It's better if you form a squad with corp teammates. A way to find someone to fly OS besides corp teammates could be chat... but i won't give you too much high expectations. There is a lot of room to improvements in chat.

WolfKhanGeneral 1,301 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 Eh, finding people to join you isn't a problem. This is for a similar purpose, but it's not that one. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WolfKhanGeneral 1,301 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 This will provide some players with a sort of pride in their ship builds and in the ships themselves. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasanQuinn 1,680 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 I'd love to have a squad of my ships with me, all sporting my custom colours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkRedFox 1,545 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 +9999999 to this. I'd love to have my squad flying with me. X3 (And other pilots aren't very reliable and just suck up your loot. This game is turning single-player and you know it.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainMaxwell7 67 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 I'd love to see such a thing. I don't have friends, AI flying my own fleet would instantly be my friends. AI are love, AI are life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor Maxwell. + to the suggestion. I'd love to fly a little fleet. And I think that battles between players are going to be a lot funnier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShonFrost 67 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 Guys!!!!!I just had an incredible idea: The maximum number of ships you can fly at the same time could be the number of your crew slots. Or, you could fly only gold-prestiged ships (Jasan Quin's idea) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 31, 2016 I remember this has been brought up some time ago. Flying in formation with other own ships would be fun. Especially if there was an option for jumping from one ship to another so we could choose which ship to control. Many solo space games work that way. The sector jumping mechanism and limitations in OS capacity would cause a serious mess though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astraal 148 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 (And other pilots aren't very reliable and just suck up your loot. This game is turning single-player and you know it.) Right on spot. Squadding in OS for any other reason than to group-kill other players makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sector jumping mechanism and limitations in OS capacity would cause a serious mess though. I don't think so. When you jump from sector to sector, the companions could simply be destroyed and respawned, while storing in some variables their inventory. But then the game should recognize when the ships get destroyed by players/other AI (=drop loot) and when they are simply jumping from a sector (=keep loot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
