Is Shrapnel still making patches for SE IV?
 

If so, can you add a new AI subroutine that
picks weapon mounts solely by FIREPOWER?

I ask this because I had this kickass mod
set up on my old computer that had a naval
bent, with twin normal turrets (think 5 inch),
Triple Heavy Turrets, or even QUADRUPLE heavy
turrets.....

Damage ratios were insanely high....but the AI
never used the powerful weapons mount options,
sticking to the old NORMAL/MEDIUM/HEAVY mounts,
even when they had TRIPLE mount options that
offered 400% the firepower for 30% more space!

(Nitpicking but...) Shrapnel do not and never have made or released patches for SEIV. Shrapnel sell the game. It's programmed and maintained by Malfador Machinations

Anyway, yes, patches are still being released. Go to Malfador's website and there you'll find an email address for sugeestions like the one posted here.

I agree BTW - a little more control over how the AI uses mounts would give modders ad AI makers a lot more freedom.

Well since it comes off of our bandwidth I would have to disagree with you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Put your best ones at the end, and the AI will choose them.
