Thats what i was wondering, i just didnt ask because i didnt want to be a smart ass.

In that thread i focused primarly on the AI's ablility to HEAR me. My thoughts have always been, the problem isnt pin point drops, the problem is getting the AI to not be so damn passive in behavior. Most of the AI is very passive, or in other words dumb. (exception being crew rating 4). I thought if i could increase their chance to be aware of my presence they would respond appropriately. And its a feasible thought, as the stock noise/wave factors - they are relatively deaf. Think about it, how often have you been detected by how much noise your making unless you deliberatly shove your boat into flank speed with an escort nearby?

To sum their behavior, i beleive is in need of work, but hardcoded. To use an old phrase, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink". But then again. im on crack, and i don't have a clue. Must be all this peyote im smoking :rotfl:
