AI-Challenge #2 - ES Kraków

For some reason seeing anything related to my country mentioned online makes me very happy and this ship's name is no exception.

Thx, Mr.!

That is one cool ship Mr.!

big

@Ari: Thx. Yeah it's pretty space efficient.
@lalelunatic: It's not really a glitch. It's endorsed by the Dev. Quite a few built-in ships use it and it is explicitely permitted in the upcoming design contest of which a few ships will be added to the base game.

i see... hmm, not so fond in using glitches though... well.. we´ll see... i hope that stuff gets "non-glitched" in the AI preset update down the line one day, as i really like the orbiting. makes combat more organic. anyway, thanks for the clear up info, that helped.

That ion layout looks fantastic.

I don't think it has anything to do with those "normal" RTS commands you describe. It's much closer to a glitch, but it's endorsed by the dev and some built-in ships use it. If you can't find the guide, for now you'll have to just spawn one of the ships that have built-in orbiting commands and rebuild the ship from the ground up (that preserves the attack commands). Or go to blueprint mode, load in one of the ships with the appropriate commands, and then click undo - that also saves the attack commands from the ship you loaded. And that's what I did with the Krakow, using the Cabal "Canopus" as the blueprint.

copy the attack presets from one ship to another? uhm... no clue on how to, never even tried... =/.

i came so far as to put the attack preset in "no AI" mode behind the enemy in a straight line, add 5 degrees to the top or bottom (for the side you wanna flank at), then turn the ship to 45 degrees... that gave it a wide initial angle at charging, then 1 full circle, at which it closed in at the end for a melee brawl, then cirlce outwards again... kinda of worked with HE missiles at range, nukes and deckcannons in the melee circle... but the speed was to high, so the melee stuff mostly missed...

another intresting thing is that your ship does the orbiting with nearly forward engines only. i had to add side thrusters, quite a few, to get it to not stop at the front of the enemy and turn broadside.

Hey. There is a guide out there somewhere that teaches you how to create auto-orbiting ships. I don't know how. I just copied the commands from the Cabal "Canopus" and modified the angle somewhat. The result was good enough, so I didn't tinker with it further. If you want to change the orbiting direction, copy the attack defaults form the Fringe "Streamliner", as it orbits in the other direction. But to get optimal results you have to tinker with it yourself.
