Artificial intelligence

[sajjukar]

After seeiing the new tech nerf chart it seems ai's can no longer get anithing that civilian equipament witch is quite disapointing...they dont have an own system/planet no guns exept civ ones...and the Ai cruiser is more like a destroyer because of its agility and it could use some special destroyer turets
Is that posible to make custom guns? And i dont mean high powered like the Shf just simple destro guns that can be mountable on this cruiser just to give it a bit more feel of uniqness
It is an alien robot...it could probably use all technology(because its an sofisticated robot) or none because it has higher technology...that includes civilian gear too but it dosent have its own equipament

That is an excellent point...

Can we have stem guns for the AI cruiser? What do you think? Also... something needs to be done about the audio loop in the probe... it reminds me of that vacuum cleaner in Teletubbies... what was it's name...the purple one?

*shivers*

The drone is quite ok with its weapons !

EXETPT Stem gun 1....after a prelong usage it DRIVES YOU CRAZY

I was thinking to something like this

High Energy Proton Blaster - destroyer turrets 3 shots per second
High Energy Proton Cannon - this will probably be the basic cruiser turets

And for the model...we need a modeler help here

I already posted such thing about change AI staff or add more. Devs answered: No.

they just dont want to do anything for a faction that dont have any official faction. only few indies. so untill someone makes AI faction and do it official and earn trust - I doubt anything will got change.

AI Drone now good enough with 148 regens and its Stem guns, also shield and thruster. and it good appearance and lights.
AI Cruiser have abit wierd gunslots but good model. its not easy to hit it from sides and back. lack of AI guns on it sad though, but it can fire heavy slots backward.
I wish that AIs had own Gunboat though. Would be good recearch bessel. Cruiser is kinda much for a faction that actually not in war with anyone. and no Civilian GB for AIs now with new TC...

The vacuum cleaner was called NooNoo and I think it was light blue. "The purple one" might mean Tinky Winky, who by himself was pretty disturbing anyway...

This issue arises from the fact that the AIs wouldn't even have any presence at all, if not for having Omicron Delta as an "easter egg" system from Vanilla Freelancer. I don't know if any of you have been around long enough to have player / heard of the Monkey Universe mod, but they made fully developed factions from both the Robots and the Monkeys.

Anyway, the point here is that the current AI status quo is fairly insignificant. They don't play a very big role in Discovery lore, and effort required to expand them wouldn't yield a very good return, and there are unfortunately many more pressing tasks the Devs need to work on.

I'd swear the SMA had disbanded... have I just been in the wrong timezone? I'm doubtful.

The current AI ID has been designed solely to support the use of the AI Drone and AI Cruiser, the current models for which are actually nice (new Drone is much better than the old one). If you want to Roleplay as an artificial intelligence which is part of an NPC faction, then you're suggested to just use that faction ID and use your imagination. Truth be told, the current AI ID really feels like a Harvester ID in disguise - at least the rephacks will disappear in the next update.



I've been considering current AI lore/RP for a while, and the way things are at the moment, the best way to build a faction would be to do something similar to the Harvesters (but not identical). The best idea that I've come up with so far involves the AIs as being the war machines of an ancient alien race which is at war with the Daam K'vosh or Nomads; the AIs would be fairly unfriendly to humans, as they would take a negative stance on "organics". However, they would really hate the Nomads and obliterate them on sight. It plays on the strengths on the current IDs, by staying around the Omicrons and Edge Worlds.

There was a sig here, once.

Before continuing...it seemn that you dont know what i want so to enlighten you before you missunderstand me ie:

I am an AI for as long i can remember...look at the join date
I tried very hard to restore the whole AI nation but with low succes...it dosent even have and Iff so that can be a problem because anyone who sees an AI shots first and you know the rest...this matter wasnt resolved not even when the Harvesters where with us....people tend to ignore us its not the fact that we are unsegnificat but they really ignore us...about some days ago there where 3 of as near Gammnu (2 cr +1 drone) a Bh aproched and it seemed to head stragit to the plant...we cd'd him but no respons...we told him he cannot dock withought autorisation...but he did...we usualy get something similar to "lolwut this is zoner planet toaster"

It isnt us...its just we becamed forgotten and then newi AI Id really dosent help with the geography of the AI base.So dont get me wrong but we could use something...a proper planet or base or at least a system where we can be alone and develop and about the ai lore...i fully understand it and really love to Rp as one but with whom?

I only stick with it because of its uniq nature and want to see how it will develop and triing my best to interfere and made it reach tomorow and not be forgotton.Some extra things will probably atract more people..or simply make the ID restricted(only the ones with AI id can buy AI id's-not anyone else) i really dont wana se another AI asking for Zoner iff permission to operate in Liberty space
