This game just cheats

[Blackjack420]

The entire game is fixed. I love it but the cheating from the ai is out of control. The game is fun, but the ai cheats are bs. If the game was fair it would be more fun. I enjoy a difficult game, but the cheating is crap. Instant repairs, instant missles, teleporting intruders without a teleporter? really? Back to back teleports, too? The game cheats.

Do not listen to fusion he is a tool.... I have said this a million times.. It is utterly impossible for a computer to play a game against a human especially a game he is good at and have ANY chance at all of winning. ALL GAMES cheat. The good ones hide it well...

The biggest one in this game is not letting you buy any weapons at ALL... Guaranteeing a loss. Plenty of others. The drones work excellent for them and crap for you... Super engis for repairs.. Firing weapons far too fast... MANY others...

The lanius B has an 8 SECOND flak cannon. It has the fastest weapon in the game. They will shoot faster than 8 seconds all the time including missile launchers which are slow..

OP isnt even posting back... Starting a discussion, not finishing it...

So technically, the game should be over when you kill all the crew. Unless it has emergency backup brainmapping.

It could be that the advanced AI takes up the helm, as you say, it might be a digitized version of the commander, or perhaps the part of the ship with the commander and what he needs to command the fleet has seperate/backup systems that we can't damage directly, short of taking out the whole ship.

^ This. Just let him play against Deep Blue and Go bots, where the playing field is even, let's see if he can win.

Is it really that easy to mess with the AI? They don't seem to have any systems in place telling them to target specific areas. It all looks very random to me. Not to mention would there be any complications or misunderstanding of the AI for systemless rooms that have the potential for there to be a system inside.

Potential rooms doesn't matter, it's not hard to make a list of current rooms, maybe also taking into account their status and prioritize some over others.
Yeah, there's a slight point that currently all weapons use the same targeting mechanism, so the code for it would be need to split for bombs. (and that's why we don't have AI ships with repair and heal bombs) Still it shouldn't be a difficult task unless the game is coded very badly.

And as for why the commander is on a smaller ship, over a capital ship? Well I bet the flagship is designed to maximise firepower and defence, while still being agile. Bigger ships would have trouble evading, as well as retreating if needed, so the rebels put a lot of effort into designing the best of both worlds, the result being the flagship we fight. And then they added some secret weapons, like the advanced AI, super-shields, laser barrage, drone swarm, and some kind of emergency FTL drive.

Lol, they forgot to(or ran out of space) to mount an escape pod. But all crew on the Flagship is equal and expendable so maybe the Mastermind of the Rebels is some "brain in a jar" sitting there and that's why AI takeovers if you kill the crew. No easy way to evacuate "the brain" as well.

I think this is where the rebels hubris got the better of them, they thought the flagship was so invicible, they forgot some basic stuff. It may have also been that the commander couldn't have gotten away, because once he was out of the flagship, we, or another fed ship would have just blown the escape pod.

And if you have DNA backup and clonebay is broken and whole crew is in it - you can live forever! Lone AI just floating in a space coffin, waiting for someone to teleport over and repair clonebay.

Always be sure to keep that repair drone or repair burst in storage when you have a clone bay and Backup DNA bank. ;)

Nah, clonebay is already too OP and who doesn't want to live forever ;)
There might have been a programmed event with a repair bot for such a case(like when all your crew is aboard the enemy and teleporter is broken), would be fun.

So maybe flagship has a malfuntioning clone bay which is why it does not auto lose with no crew. Multiple possible solutions

Flagship always has only regular medbay in all phases.

CombatMist eredeti hozzászólása:

What would happen if all live crew on enemy ship which you defeat but your teleport is broken?

Nope, the game simply says that your crew uses some escape pod to get back :) So that stalemate is resolved, but not the one with clone bay - that one forces you to push restart.

The game specifies thst the flagship ship has an advance AI controlling the ship when all crew is dead, also the fact that there is no clone bay means the theory of a malfuntioning clone bay runing the ship is not possible.

I don't want to sell you deathsticks, I want to beat up my other crewmembers.

Everything you say does make you seem like a troll though. You aren't even trying to hide it, or maybe you're just a really rude person.
