Ai M8. Wth?

Damn! AI controlled M8 are damn effective! Tried to take out that Paranid Zeus and didn't notice these two Hades. I was dead in less than 30 seconds :o The 3.0 patch did a damn good job there. No rest for the wicked :shock:

Direct an M8 you own to attack a khaak station and watch how effective it is at committing suicide :)

In combat M8s should only receive move to this location/follow this ship commands and missile barrage commands... imho. When I tell an M8 to destroy a Kha'ak station that M8 would never show up on the K-station's gravidar, even if it had a triplex scanner. i just wish the AI would use the M8 as artillery support better... or maybe I don't as I don't like reloading all the time :lol:

Just curious, what were you flying attacking a Zeus? If I remember right, Tomohawks have a damage of 625,000 so it would take at least 2 to down a corvette, an M7 would take... at least 12? I haven't had the AI do a proper missile spam with an M8 yet, if you had, I am jealous :P

You mean the fact most M8s are missile shaped is just purely coincidence and absolutely ineffective against bases?? Darn...
