So.. I remember reading a while back that chaff spam was going to be toned down a bit with the AI adjustments. For a little while in beta.. it seemed it was. If you used fixed weapons.. the AI rarely chaffed. If you used gimbaled it did now and again. Now however.. it's constant. I kind of cracks me up too.. especially watching AI go after each other.
Ever see (especially in a RES) a wing of 2 or 3 ships.. one will scan whichever poor sap is mining.. then begins attacking. Then one or sometimes both of the ships who aren't doing anything yet.. immediately pop chaff. Why? Do they really like space raves? Do their launchers have IBS? What gives?
Also.. what's with the chaff intervals while fighting an AI opponent? If one pops chaff you can be 95% certain it's going to do it again in about 10 seconds.. then again, and again, etc. You can set your watch to it! If you have time in between giggling because you're searing it's internals with your fixed beams.
So in closing.. and yeah I'm a little slap happy.. Chaff.
