AI - to the point. - Sniper - 08-25-2020
Three days ago the GAI ID had their rep changed to -55. This meant AI players could dock on only Freelancer and Zoner bases where it was the norm to be able to dock on most bases.
This was done behind closed doors. Without consultation, without any integrity to fair mindedness and with a total lack of dignity towards those who play this game. What motivates a few to decide for the many to make this...error is beyond my comprehension.
There has been no response from GM's so far about the fracas this has caused. I am sure they will.
Some want to get rid of the AI. Some want to turn it into an NPC faction. Some are traditionalists and want to only RP it as "anti-human". Some want to explore its potential and RP it more broadly, including moving among humans, as a sentient species.
The game has changed. Numbers are few. And people are majorly pissed off. And rightly so.
I appeal to the GM's. Change the AI rep back to where it was, when people bought their ships, and made their RP based on what they could do, and did so over a long period of time. Do it now. Discuss the future of the GAI with the integrity it deserves.
If you are going to be nasty, don't post.

Yeah! I been rp'ing an AI for 9 months nine whole months met many humans made many friends i want this changed back!
I am not happy! Majorly not happy!

I quite agree with what is written here.
Only right that the Rep gets changed back to what it was prior to the very recent change. That way the two AI factions can play on without being prejudiced by the decision. Changing it willy-nilly like that does not inspire confidence in the decision making processes.
I certainly cannot remember it ever being like it is now. I bought a drone nearly three years ago, now.
Amazing. In a wink of an eye, rep was changed. Now it is going to be like getting blood out of a stone to get them to do the decent thing and put it right.

They're an alien race. This not being done sooner strikes me as an oversight.
RE: AI - to the point. - Lemon - 08-25-2020
Yeah this will do doubt be altered
both ID and rep sheet list no enemies or hostile intentions
And was always open to interpretation
And everyone who logs AI regularly has been playing it as neutral/friendly to humans, past mistake or not - it really does make 0 sense to disrupt the gameplay of what is left of the player base
For the benefit of literally nobody
Besides people that complain that they have to play the game to interact with them.

AI weren't really supposed to dock everywhere, they're aliens. Naturally, people are against the unknown that's from the omicrons.
Just roleplay for diplomacy. The only places you can naturally dock at are auxesia, freelancer and neutral bases outside the omicrons.

Sigh.
RE: AI - to the point. - Binski - 08-25-2020
Any AI players get chased to a non FL/Zoner base before this and manage to dock and escape?
RE: AI - to the point. - Kauket - 08-25-2020
You're still aliens. You can still gain docking rights via diplomacy, so just do that?? That's what we did with the previous AI factions and they can dock on our stations.

IFF Infocard and ID don't box you into this, just a couple infocards and now the forced rephack.
It's very boring to box the player base into this, giving them the ability to roleplay more like Data from Star trek less like Nomads which we already have is just good for everyone. The entire organized player base has been doing just that, PvP whores like me play nomads with just occasional AI
