.51a AI won't always fire
« on: March 07, 2012, 07:56:52 PM »
So, I captured a hound.  Put the best weapon I could find on it - a thumper.  Yeah, I know, not ideal, but it's what the shop had.  And the AI won't fire the darned thing!

Setup is: A hound, with regular crew, 1x thumper, 1x vulcan cannon, 9 vents, insulated engine assembly, and auxiliary thrusters.
I can use it fine if I pilot it myself, but under AI control it only ever fires the vulcan.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

I do believe it'll fire it vs larger targets, but vs something smaller, it hardly ever has enough time "on target" to start firing, because of the spinup time the Thumper has. Hmm. Actually, *does* it fire vs larger targets? I need to check...

Edit: It won't fire at all. I'll take a look - thank you for the report!

I was just about to mention this - I put two thumpers on a Hammerhead (which is SO MUCH fun to fly after the tweaks!) and the AI did not fire them.
