Title: AI pilot bud
Post by: Midway on August 26, 2012, 12:55:22 PM
Now that we have semingly reasonable AI pilots, I wish we each could have one AI pilot bud in the MA.  Their name could be, for example, who_AI for mine (ingame name who).

We could have them up whatever we want, for example, a goon, an M3 with sups, a Spitfire, etc..

They would not have an icon so that all could distinguish the real pilot from their one AI bud.

When my AI bud is shot down it would say "who_AI was shot down by soandso."

When my AI bud shoots someone down it would say "You were shot down by who_AI" on their side, and "who_AI shot down soandso." on my side.

We could tell them where to go by drawing a line on the clipboard map (similar to how we direct task groups), or they would shadow us a few yards behind, to the extent their aeroplane or GV can keep up, or fall behind out of icon range if unable to keep up.

They are told to either (1) engage all enemies at will, (2) engage only if attacked, or (3) do not engage and proceed to destination.

This would apply to all gvs, aeroplanes, and bombers.

I think it would be fun and worth a try once a week maybe as "Titanic AI Tuesday" or some such thing.

That is my wish. :)

So you are against my wish?  Would it not be fun one day a week... to have an AI bud that you can direct and he doesn't talk back or curse at you or anything?  Just use your imagination, it would be kind of cool to try things out with an AI bud.

An AI bud once a week could add an extra measure of fun and strategy to Aces High. :old:

With my plan, you get another set of three... and all fighters get one, and all GVs and PT boats get one. :aok

And you could tell your AI_bud bombers (and their two drones) to go bomb another city or something while you are on your own mission. :)

wouldn't this require a second account, second computer and a "My Buddy" Doll.

neg, AI pilots are available in staged missions and you can instruct them to be led by you.

That would be cool though, if every now and then your AI bud would pm you with "Everything will be alright." ;)

Let's assume my wish was doable... wouldn't that be fun one day a week?

Title: Re: AI pilot bud
Post by: Midway on August 27, 2012, 11:08:46 PM

 why not ?

Too busy with RL activities to have someone count on me in a game.  I go afk a lot, can't respond, and can't stay fully focused when on.  Not fun for me to disappoint someone over and over and have them ask why I didn't help or check six or do whatever.  No interest in then being ejected from a squad or doing my own quick thing while squad is focused on something.

I have a lot of fun on my own, am learning and enjoying all my time flying and fighting when I do.  Aces High is more of a time filler for me than a primary activity.  That's why I'm on a lot, because a lot of the time I'm doing something else, and don't want to constantly log in and out.

Is AI such a bad idea?? From what I seen it flys better than 90% of the MA  :rofl and at least it doesn't run to ack  :D
Title: Re: AI pilot bud
Post by: Tilt on August 28, 2012, 03:59:09 AM
Seems a revenue opportunity to me. 1 x AI wingman option = additional $7.00 / month.  Better value than a shade account IMO.

Given AI can be skill configured then a K factor can be taken from some of the players score data.

Edited to limit the wingman to 1.

Think of your AI bud as a pet... loyal... will try hard to please... but not always fully capable. :x

What family is complete without a pet? :)

The squad does have a pet its you :P You're more like a cat with its independence than a loyal good dog.

Seriously, get a squad, loneliness is not good for your mental health.

Please don't take this as an insult Who but jeesh you NEVER stop typing on 200, I've never seen you go afk more than 10 seconds and you certainly have no trouble responding to all the useless drivel on 200....perhaps if you focused more on the game and less on the chat room aspect you would have a richer experience. <S> Sir.
