[0.53.1a] AI not evade missiles while overloaded
« on: August 18, 2012, 10:25:29 PM »
Take venture in simulation vs lasher standard. Overload lasher with couple of mining blaster shots - fire 2 harpoons, AI dont move to evade them, just drift along without using engines. And lasher standard have more than enough speed to evade harpoons. This behaviour is a guaranteed missile hit then elite lasher fights vs venture. Tested venture vs vigilance - same thing.

What sort of missiles are you using?
Most any ship can't really do much about anything once he's been overloaded.
I find it hard believing that this is a bug unless theres more to this.

In short, if you throw a stone out of the rear window of your spaceship you will go faster.

Harpoons - and ships dont move at all. Are you suggesting AI dont move because it cant evade? Not overloaded ships trying to evade missiles even if not very succesful.

It is a bug because to evade ship uses engines - nothing is wrong with engines then ship is overloaded. AI just act as ship is unable to do anything then overloaded. Which is wrong.

Yes this seems to be the case. Lasher made no attempt to dodge, but it could have dodged it pretty easily. Seems like a bug.

Thanks for the report. It was actually trying to dodge, just doing an amazingly poor job of it :) Improved that code somewhat - it ought to dodge most/all of the 4 Harpoons in that situation now.
