Finally, we have an explanation for the Myrmidon's massive volume:

"The Myrm comes equipped with an internal subspace generator which magically spews out a friggin' huge warhead. Unfortunately, this subspace generator is incompatible with the GTM Harpoon. As the Helios is rarely used, however, this feature is nearly useless..."

Quoted for epicness.

Dammit, I was just about to say that.

In-universe, the AI is so dumb that simply slowing down means you get free shots at them =(

Not if you give them decent sidethrust and set $Circle Strafe Percent to a high value.

Just give a shot to Fury's AI, and try dogfighting a couple of Lokis in Hard or Insane, and then tell us again that the AI can't fly

Yeah, well give me strafing abilities and I'd be able to do a lot more damage too (hello double-time bombing runs).


@MatthTheGeek
So basically you're saying that retail AI is inferior to modified AI?  I don't exactly need you to tell me that ;p

However, I am interested in a furball mission with this upgraded AI.

Ever see the new WiH trailer? Even on Medium a MYRMIDON was demonstrating good jinxing from enemy fire.

I've been playing the mission in the trailer with Fury's AI and it really is a blast. The fighters aren't Dragon-level exasperating, but they put up more of a fight, enough to make things challenging.

And you simply can't get anywhere near an Aeolus. They spew flak bath.

[Commander Zane]

I saw that, I don't think I'm going near one ever, for any reason whatsoever.

Don't use the modified AI on capital ships (actually on any turreted ship), that's not what it's made for, it dramatically increases their fire rate to something really unbalanced.

[Dragon]

You think so, BP is the place from where the new AI originated, so our team took care of balance.
You'll still not want to fly close to an Aeolus, no matter the level.

Er, my friend, as Dilmah said, we made the AI. Sometimes it's quite appropriate to use on warships.

[MatthTheGeek]

Don't worry, I was addressing to the ones wanting to use Fury's AI for their own custom games. I'm pretty sure you know what you're doing
