Can we have some decently strong AI teams like DC was back in the day where you can fuck with them to level, but generally they would fuck your gal up? i miss the good old days when DC would attack your gals as a fleet. BRING BACK STRONG AI TEAMS

BRING BACK STRONG AI TEAMS Basically impossible to make a team like that now. Bases used to be weak as fuck (also people built weaker galaxies) compared to where they are now, and that's what allowed people to fuck with DC, but at the same time have DC strong enough to kill bases. Any AI strong enough to take on a decent base under the current system would require a squad to fight it. So, you wouldn't be leveling on them, you might kill them for drops, but you're not going to be able to casually level on an AI that can threaten current galaxies. |

Why has no one claimed emp bio then? It's very possible just look at those termites |

In fact, I think SRX owned it last and I still did the Pax missions, because no one cares about emp bio. |

Alternatively we could add more Delquad, Hive, NF, Hawk spawners and maybe make em a bit more aggressive? Perhaps even throw roaming ohms into the mix?

Any simple AI capable of taking on a couple of stations/large pile of platforms and be a rough 50/50 fight is going to be able to nuke any casual squad. You're looking at a RNF fight for T20 bases.
As for making more Roamer spawners and or making roamers more aggressive...How fair does it sound for a lower ranked team to be cruising through Perilous Space to encounter an angry, aggro Delquad team. As AI target stuff with least shields first before anything is pulling aggro, say goodbye to your snipers and SDs. Now the healers (assuming you have enough) needs to get the dps back up and keep whatever tanks that are left alive. For a T20 squad, good luck. Best to tow. _________________ Reddit Space Invaders! |

Well would bring back the whole "dont aggro NFs, Hives or whatever" which is what this suggestion is asking for. _________________ "I still miss the Crack Whores..." - Jeff_L |

Don't agro them or you will probably get the boot, simple. |

It's actually possible to make AI that are crushed by players but that can shred bases, I could probably design one if I had a little bit of coder support. Sadly it's a bit tied up atm, but I think it's doable.
The issue is, however, that whatever we do has to be threatening for people of all levels. _________________ http://www.starsonata.com/suggestions |

Sure, just stick to the golden rule, If you attack them your team deals with them, If you don't you're safe. |
