Realistic Enemy AI?

Bilge_Rat · 11-08-13, 08:16 AM

I had another frustating experience with TMO. I tracked a lone merchant at night, had a perfect setup, raised my scope at 2,000 meters for a final check. The ship instantly spotted my scope and started taking evasive action.

Anyway, digging through the AI files, I think I found the problem. RFB and the stock game have a detection threshold of 120 seconds, which as I understand it means that even when all the conditions are present for the AI to spot you, it takes an initial 2 minutes before the AI reacts. In TMO, this time is reduced to 0.5 seconds, so the AI spots you instantly. The TMO "easier AI" mod has the same issue.

I am going to bump up the detection threshold back to 120 seconds and test it out.
