Just let me ask you a question: if you where to compare the Ai to a human, which one would you do it to? (I mean like child, adult, teenage, or Albert Einstein )
If I were to compare the AI to a human, I would say it's like a smart, cunning and sneaky teenager. I had a fight today where my awesomeEagle strayed from the pack a little; half of the destroyer herd just ganged up on him and finished him off. I didn't see that kind of pack AI before. The last AI just sent a few ships to each relay point, making it easier for you to go full fleet to one destination and finish those ships then go full fleet to the remaining ships. Now the ships move in a large pack, just sending a few fighter/frigate scouts.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong Alex, but did you include fighter escorting in the enemy AI??? Because today I saw some enemy Talons just buzzing around an Eagle, never leaving it's side.
PS2. I love the new Eagle/Falcons, and yeah, I can see you worked a ton improving the AI. Don't overdo it pls, because I lost 7 battles in a row to a smaller enemy fleet trying to capture a damn Paragon. That thing is a freekin beast with those damn pds now.
