Sonne kick butt!

John Beech himself did not do the AI's, they were done by someone else, but his beautiful ships have a matching quality AI. Well, its not as challenging as your stapled "PPB RUSH" AI, but they use much more interesting designs and strategies. Thats, IIRC.

Whatever happened to John, is he still around? I think many of use owe him a debt of gratitude.

Hi Devin,
glad to hear that the Sonne are giving you a challenge . I did all the new AI for Devnull Mod Gold except for two (Amonkrie and Fazrah were updated by Geoschmo) and hope all of them are doing reasonably well. I agree with Mac that the United Flora are also very good. Unfortunately not all the AIs have been updated, yet. So I recommend adding the opponents with the empire files. Races with no empires can still be added at random, but their AI has not been finetuned.

Here is a list of the races that have updated AI (quote from the DNM readme):

The following standard AIs have been rewritten by Rollo, races in the same line belong to a "family" and share most of the files:
* Cue Cappa, Abbidon
* Norak, Toltayan
* Eee, Drushocka, Praetorian
* UkraTal, XiChung

* the Amonkrie and Fazrah have been revised by Geoschmo
* a Devnull Mod Version of the Space Vikings by Dogscoff & Rollo has been added
* Space Monsters AI by Rollo
* new AI for United Flora, shipset by Henk Brouwer & AI by Rollo
* new race added: The Sonne, shipset by Marc Angstadt, AI by Rollo

I currently have another AI in the works that looks quite promising (temporal AI for the Xiati and Sallega), but there has been no progress lately (I am a bit burned out with SE4).

Just for the record, John Beech did not do the Sonne shipset. Marc Angstadt did.

Check his Tylmai race for another cool somehow similar race.

I think this is probably the best looking race ever.
