Smalus bugus reportus:
1. It is still not possible to break truce with AI
(in cases, where it upload map data, etc). I think it wouldn't hurt to have this option - with smallest chance of crew mutinying (it's "just" a computer, after all - but still, there could be cases when crew doesn't want tofollow that order) of all enemy ships - as accepting AI surrender can still be a risky business (rocket form hidden launcher, etc). Of course, slugs would be able to do it without even slight chance of penalty. (Severity:
Minor)
2. Nanobots in AI controlled sector's nebulae doesn't disable one point of new, AE systems. (Severity:
Medium)
3. As you may expect, I was very, very happy to see rogue AI sector back in CE. Coincidentally, when jumped there, I had plenty of scrap hoarded (waited for shop), so I added buffer bars to my crucial systems and planned to try some nano-hunting, using my Lanius and AI avatar (backed up by cloning system) to board AI control vessels, and kill their weak holo-crew, disabling their [strike]clone bays[/strike] AI backup replicators with hacking drone or brute force. After all, prizes in those nanobot clouds are quite high, right?
Well, it could work, if this enemy wouldn't be a little buggy
:
http://s16.postimg.org/m300c1oj7/image.jpgNotice life-support system and full Zoltan crew. Still tried to blow them up, locking their doors via hacking and picking them one by one, but their blowing up constantly killed my crew, of course. Encountering those zoltan-like AIs (
) 4 times in row was a little to much for my poor pirate kestrel. (Severity:
Medium)
Suggestions:1. In the event of meeting civilians passing too close to a sun, we can use system repair bomb to help them. As hull repair bomb also repair systems since few versions, I suggest that hull repair II could become a similar blue event (Hull repair I may be to "weak" here).
2. Speaking of nanobots in AI sector - as we know, they eat our ship and disable systems. I was wondering - could Lanius crew member and its tech-assimilation become a blue event here, just like rock ceramic layers are for acid clouds? It could defend from having that bar of every system disabled, OR from hull damage (I think both would make it too easy). It would give some characteristic to Lanius ship (and rare Lanius crew member, it's not so easy to get one on other ships that doesn't start with one).
