Bots

Noticed, that after deployment some bots are flying right in constructions, asteroids or some other obstacles and stuck there for some time. Can you improve their AI a bit, so they won’t get in such situations?

Also, is there any option for you to make them use these obstacles to their advantage, such as maneuvers and hiding behind them?

Nop there isnt any option to influence the bots.

tbh i may think bots are just a bit OP and need nerfed just a little buy yeh they need to inprove the AI and how they fly some bots get stuck in the objects and there just sitting ducks casue u just sit there and kill them

that’s why im thinkin should we have quick radio message and can influence bot thru that… like requesting back up or something…

and imo, bot not op… just too accurate… very hard evade anything they throw at ya… despite they still predictable

We will see about bots. Perhaps they will be gone one day when there are enough players so you will only have players vs players.

nah, dont let em gone… im sure they still useful for training and tutorial (if goin any)… especialy bot is best opponent for evasive manouver training

There is one solution, make various levels of bot intelligence…ie the current bots that fly into walls are great for duck hunting and evasion, however if the bots had a step up ability for the higher level of ship classes then ‘technically’ players should have enough skill to deal with the AI = as your ship improves and your skill improves, then the AI improves. I’m fine with the AI at the moment, but it is a bit odd how you can break them simply by flying into them :l

Actually I do get mad when I see 3 to four bots of my team stuck and their team gangbanging two beacons at once and two players chasing specially me.

And this happens about to one time for every 6 matches I get in.

Also, bots MUST be precise, otherelse they will only serve as baits for players. They can’t follow properly sometimes, also they quit taking over a beacon for apparent no reason (no bacon of us under attack) and this isn’t good.

I know they are AI but would be great if we could at least send in signals, or influence them somehow so they wont screw up the match.

main AI of bots is Hunt nearest Target to base… this easy to exploit cause just by Interceptor Warp to behind enemy line make at least 4 bots gonna ignore anything and try hunt you down… make less problem for your friend…

I dont know if it is worth to add bot commands to game, because this would need some time and if bots are gonna be removed from normal matches it would be to much wasted time especially in closed beta, where a lot of things need to be done.

well… good point… but still… the question is, is there still “non normal matches” with em when release?

if yes make em response to some command like “Help, need back up” under some distance might still useful… like any bots within 5k range gonna come to help… while out of that range… ignore…

I thinks this will not be added just be patient until there are only player matches;)

A command system by hotkey would be nice to get the bots organized to help you as a team… Follow me, Cover me, attack this target.

Obviously it could only be used for 1-2 bots in a certain radius of your ship, other wise your team could micro the entire enemy team down.

/topics merged.

sometimes it happen, like this one
