Nooooooo! She's not allowed to change anything until such time as my unshielded Asp docks safely in let's say, a year, tops?

I would hurry back if I was you. If you have any Combat rank of note you may be in trouble.
Currently they seem to be smarter defensively but sooner or later they'll probably start becoming more aggressive.

Hi Commanders,

You may have already heard the GOOD NEWS, like I did:

View attachment 57462

SJA should be back to hopefully resuming her AI tweak project! If only this could come with 1.4!!! :)

What are the improvements that you, as experienced pilots, would like to see implemented?
From my side, I would kill to see NPCs:

- use chaff more often, and some of them using double chaff.

- use shield cells more often, and earlier (not when the shield is almost completely down since it takes time for the cell to trigger and stabilize the shield).

- use max pips to ENG and boost subsequently when they chase you.

- be better at interdiction (both to interdict and escape).

- attempt to high-wake when it is obvious they are going to lose the fight (outgunned / outnumbered, or shield has dropped and low hull while their opponent is still in good shape).

- interdict only players from the same league (a Harmless Adder should not interdict a player flying a battle Python, an Elite Clipper should not interdict a new player...you know, to avoid complaints that the AI should be toned down).

While I do immensely appreciate the improvement that has been done to the AI lately, there are still many situations where it feels wrong, almost like cheating, to fight NPCs...or worse, like an annoyance when you are being interdicted. Let's face it, you don't always see other players while playing Elite, and NPCs should come as close as a challenge/threat as real players.

So...I created the above thread to collect ideas from players about how to improve the AI...
...and it was merged in a thread where people are basically typing "Yeah!", "Really?", "OMG!"...
Definitely a very pertinent merge...

I was surprised to find me having posted in one of the new OPs threads. It's not a bad thread and not a bad title, but I usually avoid posting in inveterate cheerleaders threads.

Unmerging it may be a lot of work, but is there any chance we can have a thread discussing improvements without all the whoop-whoop background noise and without it being merged into this one?

Let me try to post it again in the "Suggestion" section, and kindly ask not to merge it with this one...on the other hand, i doubt that many people actually consult the "Suggestion" section... :/
