Overload and phase ships
« on: August 03, 2012, 06:22:09 AM »
Maybe they should just unphase after reaching max flux without further penalties ? Reasoning:
Getting overloaded with phase cloak is possible ONLY by ai/player mistake since there is nothing to gain in this outcome, while for shields it could be tactical choice. For example, getting overloaded by am blaster shot is often better then letting it hit...

...While we are at it, AI also seems to be prone to getting overloaded by annihilators/swarms of missiles in general for no good reason - absorbing 1 more than your flux capacity allows  just doesn't balance getting overloaded....

I have noticed the AI going slightly nutty with phasing, overloading by staying in. Like just hovering the overlay on them is enough to make em panic
