DestroOmega Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 A long time ago, it looked like someone started working on this feature in the TG code, but it was removed a while ago. Upon suggesting this in OOC, Ponies showed interest in the idea as a module upgrade for a mech, allowing station bound AI to take temporary and remote control of the machine. This is a post for that. Discuss, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland410 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Definiently should be implemented, not much else to say to it, we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infant Punter Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Would be very useful for when there are lacking cyborgs, But what would happen when the mech was moved out of the AI's camera range? And it seems it would be a little OP in a malf round for the AI to be obscuring his malfness until someone lets the AI have a durand to toy around with, But that really is the stations choice to make the Upgrade. I support this idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostEnzeru Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Make it so AI can use mechs as cameras, like I believe they can do with non-hacked borgs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland410 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Not really on the topic, but yeah that might be useful too, camera module for mechs so we could find that darn miner who slept in a ripley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostEnzeru Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 It was totally on topic. Addressing the issue of mechs being controlled by the AI wandering out of camera range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland410 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Oh, you meant it like that, well the AI would be like piloting the mech so it would actually see stuff. But still we should implement a camera module too, if non AI mechs are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I support this. There are many rounds, when there is no borg around. This is bad for the AI and Bad for robotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regen Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This was from back when the server was kind of low populated and lacked people to drive and mine with the mecs, I am still for the camera on mechs, but AI piloting is a no for now Why? Because the AI has better, more important things to do than piloting the ripley, and if they give the AI a combat mech it will be a walking shield, nothing more because of the AI laws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bharg Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thread necromancy! I also don't think that it's a good idea. Remote controlled mechs on the other hand do sound kind of interesting to me, but not useful or worthwhile Maybe it's because I dislike the whole seperate mining station. Adding some landmass to the station sounds a lot cooler to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uliks Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What this game realy makes rich, it is tons off possibility to play different strategies each time. If people realy wish, why not give them, but make it hell expensive Example: -They would need some kind of circuit (which would need very high research lvls) -And Mechs controlled by AI drains lott more power, so culd not use it to often. Camon people, lets suggest more ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
