You are welcome for the video! Thought it had to be shared since it was so heavily researched and high effort. Did not know most of what CIG plans for NPCs were until now
great breakdown, but not sure how they could balance it ; having npc gunners be competitive vs human gunners means there's not much of a reason to 'waste' humans for those roles, and if a solo Scorpius with AI gunner can compete with a 2 player scorpius, these 2 players players will just run two scorpius with AI gunners and destroy the solo player, kinda making human gunners obsolete and crewing a turret becomes a "self-nerf" ; at this point, why not just make ships with automated PDCs instead of turrets ? NPC crews being viable is fine ; them being competitive/better than untrained players becomes a much more complicated issue for game balance, since groups can (and will) use them too..
@@_aurora_2086 I understand that, but again, what stops groups/orgs from doing the same, just at a larger scale ? if a solo player can do it, so can an org member, and if AI crews are just as good as human crews, orgs will bring multiple AI crewed ships instead of multi-crewing ships..
so if we are getting AI players, what are the odds will be able to use them for our small fighters to follow along with us in our larger ships? As back up or protection?
long as they don't start policing chat. which i already don't like the idea of people being suspended or banned from the game based on WORDS and INSULT while there is no block or ignore feature STILL in game. SO yeh they could work on making social tools and having locatiosn in verse to socially congrgate and maybe play social mini games for little prizes etc like the BTR would work if it was attached to the Orison star port not a Bloody bus ride from civilization to a location with nothing to earn or achive. Crew should be interesting and management i'd assume a lot like Metal gear solid v with out the air balloon kidnapping. maybe they will put the Roster in the BARs so you have to go to a commons bar to find crew from the station or star port and maybe add some attract sounds/gameplay
