Will my AI ships be smart with their missiles?

Post by Ender_Xenocide » Sat, 1. Dec 12, 17:08

Hi all. I hope this is the right place for this thread, as it's my first time posting a new topic here. :D

Question: Will my ships (the ones I'm NOT piloting) fire the right missiles at the right targets? I plan to have a fleet of 30 Centaurs each of which automatically resupplies with around 150 Wasp Missiles and around 30 Hornets. Will they be smart enough to only fire the Wasps at fighter-ish units and only fire Hornets at M6 and upwards?

Thanks.

Not in TC. There they just sort of spam the strongest missile.

AP might be different.

Rats! :shock:

Ah, well. Thanks for the quick reply, anyway. I guess them fighters will just have to get hornets spammed down their throats as well. :D

If you're willing to go modified, I'm sure the modders came up with a solution.

Actually, they spam whatever missile you left them selected with, not the strongest one--so you could switch them to fire Wasps, but they'd then ONLY fire Wasps.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking now that I'll just mas hornet missiles, then, as I only plan on upping their fire probability in emergencies/really tough battles, and capships are more likely to be the problem there, anyway.
