How is the PVE?

[Mr.Person]

I am probably gonna play solo mostly cuz none of my friends are interested in a game like this, so are your AI crewmates any good (if you have them) because I wont have an actual crew and I don't like playing with randoms much.

So yea how good is the friendly crew AI in this?

AI is fairly competent I would say. Solo play is milder I think in general, with fewer enemies to crowd. It's a bit different from multiple ships in a larger battle. But to answer your question, I think the AI is competent enough especially if you learn to use the voice commands (V key).

Well, if you get the game and it's not the case, email me at [e-mail], and I'll take care of you.

Thanks! Howard

Thanks for the friendly info, nice to see devs like that. I will probably pick this up at some point soon then.

bought the original a few years ago from the big youtuber brawl thing, hope they do it again sometime soon, was a blast to watch!

Thanks so much for supporting us! And if you own GoIO, you should get a 25% discount. Thanks again!

The AI is really good at supporting the ship. Movement-wise, you should really take the role of captain though. ;)

The PvE is kinda like an easier version of PvP where the formula is pretty much this :
Step A: Get closer from the right angle.
Step B: Use (or have an AI use) bullet guns (machine gun for instance) and chip away the enemy Hull.
Step C: Use explosive weapon. Shoot until it blows.
Step D: Rince and repeat while keeping an eye for any incoming enemies.

The main quality of playing solo is that you know the AI will uses the best weapon at hand for each task. Online, you'll often find players who try to chip away hull with explosive weapon or fire weapon and some other (same sometimes) who try to chip the ship durability with bullet weapons. (While it's the opposite.)

The biggest disadvantage of playing solo is that you have to fly the ship. If you don't play with other people you won't get a chance to try the other classes because the AI will not fly the ship.

If you want to try playing with other people, not going in with a group of friends isn't a big deal. There are always lobbies going, and the matchmaker will sort you into a match based on which class you want to play. You can add people to your in game friends list so you can fly with them again later, or join or create a clan to get a group going. There are plenty of ways to get a group of people to fly with even if you don't know anyone going in.

Fly the spire or junker. You get to repair,shoot and fly on those ships without any real hinderance. Unless you dont care about repairing / shooting.
