Default No AI Minesweepers???????!!!!!

Hi all,

still waiting for SE4, but read in some Posts here, that the AI doesnīt build minesweepers.

Well, i know that SE4 is still not "finished" and that there is still a lot of work to do - but, will this be fixed. I mean, will the AI in the future be smart enough to build minesweepers??

I think, if it doesnīt build minesweepers, it is really no challenge to play this game (of course it is a challenge, but you know...). Mine your warppoints and thatīs it.

Any answers would be kind.

Greetings from Germany

Jochen

P.S. To the lucky ones, who own the full Version yet, "did you see large AI-Fleets?".

Great thing about this game is that we ask, and they release the patch ASAP.

Most game companies put out a game that will be playable for about a week, and if your lucky will fix any huge bugs in a few months.

I'm sure it'll be fixed.

Yeah,

the communication between the fans MM/SG is really cool. The same thing i encountered was/is in the Combat Mission forum at Big Time Software. Itīs the only possibility for "small" companies to survive on the market. And i think, this is good - very good.

Ehm, did you see big AI fleets, yet?

Greetings and many thanks from Germany

Jochen

Seems strange to me to sice we have a free trade agreement, and an open boarder.

And all that's if they'll ship it at all, had a hell of a time trying to spend 500$ US on a new CPU, mobo.

Can't buy it here because that just adds an extra middle man to jackup the price.

I looked through the AI build files and it did not seem to be much/any challenge to add mine sweepers to the standard build order. I have only been playing the released game for a few hours and havn't seen any large fleets yet, but in the demo I saw fleets as large as 15-20 ships

Thatīs a surprise to me... I never saw in the demo such a big fleet. Hmmmmm.

Doing something wrong?.....

Well, but funny, if such fleets still exist even in the demo. So, in the full Version i will see and fight them.

Thanks a lot!

Ahhh, Danny,

the best thing for us both would be to live in the USA. Wouldnīt it??

Giggle, giggle, just made a joke.

I feel with you. It is unsatisfactory at all.
Keep your head high - iīm sure, your game will arrive in time.

Thanks a lot.

Jochen

My first game saw AI fleets of 15-20, incl. Dreadnaughts, by year 14. I upped the max systems to 255 and the max ships to 300 using the in-game slider. I wuz thinkin, "Duh, mai bee da AayAh ain' gittin' enuf ships t'do whut it wuntz." So, I gave it more.

But, Lordy Knows, Ah don'theenk too braht.
