Question about AI blocks.

[Cleric Johan Phos]

I am currently designing a very simple, but complex set of AI blocks that will control the flight path and entering an exiting atmosphere to go between our base on planet and our base on an asteroid. Do I need to pair up several move blocks with the record blocks or will one move Block work with several record and basic task blocks? I will be utilizing at least five controllers and six timers as well. I’ve already laid out part of the plan/programming. I just need to know if I can just use one move Block or if I have to pair several up with the record blocks.

One move block is enough.
Except you need other speeds, than you need more.

So, for example, the distance between traveling to and from the bases or using the record blocks to dock to a connector

Hi Cleric Johan Phos,

I already tested and that is not a good move to use AI Blocks for planet to space and back to planet, best to use RC autopilot to do that long trip and may use the AI blocks once close to your station to do a perfect landing.

Here is my Best setup :
-> RC to fly at 100m/s and AI Recorder + AI Flight set to 10m/s to do the perfect landing.

The Remote Control block should be able to do the whole job if you're flying between static bases.

Just be sure to control your ship via the Remote Control block when laying down GPS markers so things line up properly.

The AI Drones just need 3 waypoints bound to station Beacon (Approach Vector), it's one approach Vector per AI recorder block, so you will need 3 AI Recorder if you have 3 Stations for example.

Use the RC autopilot to go to your space station and enable the right AI blocks once at the space GPS coord that should be close to the station you are going to.

To specify :

AI Drones return to home Approach Vector automatically when the right AI Blocks are enabled so no need to create a 45Km long Waypoints Path with AI recorder.


EDIT

Take advantage of the RC autopilot to move the Drone at a safe height to avoid mountains for a trip between 2 stations on Planet, something like that :

I will add :

Took me 30 minutes to test all this and notice we must use the RC autopilot combine with AI Blocks if needed.

I recommend to do the test with AI blocks only for a 2 way trip Planet to Space and back to Planet to see how bad it goes.


Conclusion
Here is my Best setup :
RC to fly at 100m/s
+
AI Recorder and AI Flight set to 10m/s to do a perfect landing (AI Recorder Approach Vector).
