Default Re: Eleven Non-Cheating Ways to Help the AI

Although I think firing arcs would be great if they worked, I just can't see them working well with the current state of the game/AI or even a realistic future state. The combat decision making routines would need increase dramatically in complexity and I just don't see that happening. I'd much rather the overall game AI be improved before tackling this monster. Or better, improving the UI first.

Side note: The Starfleet Command series revolves around tactical combat and ships have weapon arcs. The AI has gone thru many improvements from the days of SFC1, where the ships would only basically charge for overruns, but even after SFC2, SFCOP and SFC3, the AI still has a very hard time with weapon arcs and is the reason that retrograding (ships going backwards) was never able to be implemented. Yes, they have a totally nerfed retrograde in SFC3, but it is so nerfed as to be not really usable.
