Insane AI basically have unlimited primary energy, as far as I know.....
"Neutrality means that you don't really care, cuz the struggle goes on even when you're not there: Blind and unaware."

"We still believe in all the things that we stood by before,
and after everything we've seen here maybe even more.
I know we're not the only ones, and we were not the first,
and unapologetically we'll stand behind each word."

That's how it always seemed to me, despite player's recharge being lethargic at that level.

Aww, your fighter gets an advantage over AI fighters by default? And here I was thinking I was just that good...

@QD I'm pretty sure you're right. AI get restricted in the amount of shots they can take over time, their accuracy etc. I don't think they use energy in the same way the player does. I'm looking at the tables and I don't see any such figures. Seemed like they had more endurance with the maxim anyways...

I'm 99.9% sure I've seen enemy a.i. fighters run out of energy.

I'm certain I have as well. It wasn't on Insane difficulty though.

I thought they didn't bother giving the AI energy reserves and just reduced their refire rate depending on the difficulty or something like that. Not sure where I got that idea though.

I don't think I've seen it happen to enemy or friendly fighters. I typically give friendlies heavy weapons I couldn't get away with using for specifically that reason.

Just make a test mission, put in a hostile play-dead fenris and erinyes and give it maxim or kayser. Watch the results. I did exactly that after Dragon posted and it was apparent that the AI fighter ran out of primary energy. It is entirely different matter what mechanics are involved with primary energy on AI fighters.

Well I've definitely seen them run out of energy but there might be some situations in which they can't... Or something I dunno.

Isn't it entirely plausible to assume that the AI, being a computer and all, can manipulate ship energy distribution far more effectively, moment-by-moment, than a human player?
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

I'm not sure how much more effective diverting all energy to weapons can be in this case.

Why not? It boosts weapon energy recovery, right?
