The AI Programmer is the best!

I know it's been done before but I don't think you can give her enough praise.

Finally got my new setup running smoothly and installed the latest update. Quick stop off in the station to paint my Vulture blue, then in to the fray. OMG! What happened to the AI? If Sarah Jane Avory ever gets board with FD she could get a job with Cyberdyne.

Jumped in to CZ, chose a side, attacked a Python. Killed Python (eventually) then had to run for my life. Not to worry, I'll be a bit more careful next time.
Repaired, rearmed and back to the CZ.
First target, an Asp. Kill asp after a mighty struggle, then run for my life again.
I got the hang of it eventually and ended up having a very profitable evening, and enjoying the best dog-fighting I have ever experienced in a game. FANTASTIC! :D
 
I saw the original title for this and laughed SO hard, wondering if it might be misinterpreted - good save dude!

And on the point itself, yes, the AI has improved dramatically. Very impressive work by SJA.
 
Careful - If you say too much there will be a new AI power created in game with Sarah Jane Avory as its leader.

All joking aside - the improvement in the AI is great
 
Now we just need a reliable way to find conflict zones for people like me who likes fighting the Skynet.

All praise the Overlord !

Can i just ask AI programmer to give NPCs at least an ounce of brains?
I am kinda tired of shieldless mostly harmless small/medium ships interdicting my in Anaconda, at least make them ram me so they die instantly and i don't waste my time on this ... feature :)
Just make them think before attacking ship they will never ever ever ever be able to get down even one ring of shield.
 
I hope she has not done too good a job, as I will be coming in from the void next week, looks like I will need to avoid NPC's as well as players now.
 
Yes have to say she has done a fabulous job with the AI's have had a few kill-and-run's for my life and ship's health
with these improvements..

Hats of to SJA...;)

You'll be fine. They aren't hard to run from, they are just better at fighting should you choose to fight them.

Wow... (is a bit embarrassed) I don't know what to say... other than I'm still gonna try harder to kill all you guys with my little AI minions. ;)

Just wait until after Whiterose gets back.... Or maybe don't wait.. hehehehehe
 
Combat is the best part of Elite: Dangerous. I agree the AI has really stepped up this latest update, which makes it even more fun!
