Devnull exploit
 

I´m playing a modified Version of the Devnull mod against the AI, i noticed that the Remote Mining hulls, with advanced tech levels of propulsion and stellar harnessing can be used as very cheap and maintenance saving pop. transports, yard ships and stellar manipulation ships and i don´t see the AI using any of them in this way (mainly because the AI simply don´t use remote mining) and i´m thinking if is possible to mod the devnull AI to use these hulls in their construction, and how to do it in a way that the AI don´t use these hulls in attack ships or troop transports (that would be very bad since these hulls have huge penalties in combat)...

The remote mining 'exploit' is so good, I made a mod to take full advantage of it. (see my sig) and you know what? I'm such a wuss, I still can't beat the AI, even with them having this (aparently big) disadvantage. LOL

Yes, I'm that bad. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Devnull exploit
 

the exploit im refering at is not the fact that the AI don´t use remote mining, but is a exploit specific of Devnull, where there exist 2 specialized hull types for remote mining that, at highr tech levels, can become very usefull hulls to use in Stellar Manipulation, Spaceyard and Pop Transport ships, mainly because these hull have a very high maintenance reduction....

My question was how you can mode the (devnull) ai so it uses these hulls for SM, SY and PT without using them for attack ships (where those hulls would be useles, since they have high combat penalties)...

Re: Devnull exploit
 

They do make good external-missile-mount ships, but I guess that's splitting hairs...
Curious - does the ai use these hulls at all?

Re: Devnull exploit
 

Hey, i didn´t thought about that! Good idea!

As far as i know Devnull AI don´t even research the tech area that brings the hulls... maybe because the AI would eventually using these hulls to design attack ships and would be creating very weak and useless attack ships...
