AI cores skill
« on: December 12, 2018, 07:50:40 AM »

Create a new skill for ai cores usage for example: lvl1) alow you to use gama&beta cores. lvl2) allow you to use alpha cores to upgrade your facilities.
lvl3) you can set alpha cores as administrators now, unlock blueprint battle ai - you can create 2 ai lieutenants with level 26 that gives you another +2 officers cap.

Locking gameplay mechanics behind skills is never a good idea.

Mate, the whole thing will get rebalanced in the next patch, Alex already confirmed that income will be nerfed. We just got colonies in 0.9, ofc things are gonna be whack at first.

It's a bad idea, to stop the player from using AI cores, mainly because without them some colonies wouldn't make money.

My bet that he's either french or spanish and in these languages, it's not a typo.

My point is that factions don't use them, without any perk investments you gain best administrator or huge buff to any building for free, its even easier to find apha cores than decent human administrator with 2 perks, no salary above that.

There are also very few mechanics/negatives around them yet (I think Alpha Cores in charge of entire colonies are impossible to remove and can do stuff if targeted by a Hegemony Inspection, but I'm not 100% sure). Presumably Alex will eventually add things where AI cores can go rogue and beef up the downsides of Hegemony Inspections triggered by using AI cores and such.

And as mentioned, the fact that NPC faction colonies are crap compared to player colonies has already been officially added to Alex's slate for the next update. Presumably most NPC factions don't use them due to the Hegemony being the major power in the Core systems, and they take a very dim view of AI cores.
