Got that idea just a minute ago, and decided to post it.
What do i mean by "Observer Mode"?
When i was designing AI scripts for myself, i've done realy many testings, but the real test was when i put my Taera (as AI) against the Rage (another AI) and myself didnt do anything. Eventually, one of the races would come and kill me. Boom.
And if i want to see how the race is doing, without actually playing myself?
All it could do is that the human player starts in a separated system (i.e No Warpoints) with a single, VERY poor planet. What means you wont be able to build anything, and go outside. But then noone would reach you. All you have to do it sit there and watch the AI expanding....
BTW that was pretty good test for my Taera, i found some bugs in there which i have fixed.
ANy comments on that thing?
