Better Ai

I know this may sound kinda dumb but can you make a new ai mode where it just targets the ship its closest and none of the other features. I would be very grateful if you can. This can be a creative mode only feature

will this stop ai from fleeing the moment they engage an enemy.. every last ship in the game seems to throw it into full reverse the moment i get into a fight its gotten ridiculous

Edit: After some more testing I feel it is working. I think my test ships were too close on size to tell the difference.

Hello! I am testing this and it seems it is not working. Is it only me?

Thank you for read my suggestion!

I'm definitely interested in trying out your suggestion because even tho this change would probably make the AI less lethal, it would change its behavior so much that it would definitely make the experience new and interesting (at least for our playgroup).

Hello septiys, good suggestion.
Unfortunately there's nothing much I can do with AI swapping to whatever the 'greatest threat' based on proximity. I have only come up with one solution, other than overhaul the whole value system. Which if implemented, when playing with mods, the AI target vanilla weapons rather than modded ones. This solution will have AI target lower value parts which includes weapons. However, the possible drawback it may target all the weapons on the target rather than aim for exposed control rooms and reactors.
I would like to hear yours or any others opinion whether i should implement the solution above, it would probably only affect the targetter AI for now.

Greetings and thank you for making an option for an AI for the community to use.

I'd like to suggest that the AI would choose it's target based on the effectiveness of the enemy ships' weaponry. What I mean is that the AI should measure the value of the weapons installed on the player ships while multiplying those values based on those weapons' effective range in conjuncture to the current distance between itself and the player ship.
This would hopefully make the AI behave so, that it would try to focus down the greatest threat to it at any given time. For example if another ship closes in after looping around, it would turn to face it if it comes close enough for its weapons to be a greater threat than it's current target. Or whenever it's current target's weapons get destroyed, it would switch to another ship which still has its weapons online.

I look forward to hearing what you think about this suggestion and hope to see it implemented.

Thank you again for your good work :)

Oh neat. Thank you for the clarification!

Hi halfdeadkiller, Yes it works, the Ai will target the largest ship in proximity until it is under attack. After being damaged abit the Ai will focus its attention on the closest attacking ship. Hope this gives some insight on how the Ai functions.

Does this still work? I was testing it out in creative but ships set to AI Normal fail to target swap to smaller, closer ships.

After further testing, it seems the AI targets ships with more guns than perhaps size and distance. Though I'm unsure really.
