Fearless and Reckless
« on: April 06, 2021, 06:13:34 AM »

Is there a difference? AI seemingly die a lot less often than reckless human officers would, but I'm not sure if it's smarter or simply has much better ships/skills.

According to my observations, Reckless means often put himself/herself into dangerous position to engage, Fearless means NO RETREAT

They're technically the same personality under the hood with a different name, from what I've seen. AI ships might have addition flags/configs that make them yet more aggressive, but it's not a personality thing at that point.

The ai ships also tend to be pretty mobile, which means they can back out when their flux is super high or the situation has otherwise changed to make aggression not just risky but entirely pointless.
