Squirrrel Gallente Squirrrel Industries	Posted - 2008.11.07 19:29:00 - [1] Originally by: Tasty Bit Originally by: Isilwen Nightfall CCP nerfed them because they were smarter than players hunting them CCP believed NPCs were smarter than players. Hmm, there's precisely no way that can be true. Well they don't pay to play the game. The problem is largely that all NPC behave exactly the same. They are too predictable. It's far to easy to work out how they behave and counter it, and then it's just dull as you practically autopilot through a mission or ratting. PC's do some crazy stuff, and have crazy setups. NPC's should be no different as sometimes that could lead to morfe exciting encounters having to work out how to counter what you're suddently faced with. As for Drones... Gallente NPCs not using drones is just too weird.

Probably for the same reason; that if a rat had an ammo sucking device and used it on a non-drone ship you'd have no effective dps. If you'd like the point proven, get 10-15 people to attack you in an array of ships, and try to take them out with your Domi.

Because that goes for you too, sir. How do you make Artificial Intelligence? What is Artificial Intelligence actually? Well, you start of by making a system that will perfectly simulate a fight and generally will never make a mistake.... Then you dumb it down to make it possible to beat it, this also means you can just make sure the AI will ignore the drones, because YOU are making it stupid... Both you and me obviously know how handy it can be to just shoot down the drones first to rob someone of it's dps, but if you like, not teach the AI how to do that then it's not a problem right?... Don't think that because EVE will introduce AI for NPCs your drones are ****ed... An AI is as smart as you want it to be. I concede to your points. When I read the post you replied to again, of course you are correct. A realistic AI would do as I stated, but any change would do as you say which is what the point was. o7
