BiberDark Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 As AI i find it difficult to see, the station is way to dark now. Could we have nightvision for Ai or something like that. :geek: Quarantine the station objective. This is nearly impossible there are so many doors not visible to cameras and also the shuttles. So it is impossible to stop people. In a normal round also you have very few borgs, and blobs starts right from the beginning. So there is no or only one borg who can assist you. I do not want to sound whiny but I see no way to carry out the goal. And the Crew is mostly like to break quarantine and security does not even think about supporting you. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultimate Chimera Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I agree, most airlocks have no cameras facing them and it does get quite dark, not even the AI camera light can light up areas completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistik Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Map revisions: #1: Add cameras at the airlock locations without camera coverage. #2: Give those cameras, and cameras in high security areas nightvision by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZomgPonies Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I believe cameras themselves have lights that the AI can turn on. Otherwise, why should the AI get to see better than his cameras can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistik Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The lights basically suck all kinds of ass; also some airlocks have no coverage. More cameras + select cameras that have NV near the exits (no idea if it's possible for the AI to piggyback off the special vision types of the cameras though) would be ideal.

Plotron Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The camera lights are half-broken and half-useless. Firstly - the function only turns on the lights you can actually see on your screen - if you go somewhere else, you have to double click to re-enable lights, which sometimes do not even turn on (Solars access come to mind). If you click too fast, the screen goes black and you have to reset your camera position (for instance by centering on your core). Their current practical range is about 3 tiles - vastly shorter than the camera's actual viewing range in darkness. This means that the AI can't see doors or tiles and in order to interact with them it has to hover over the objects in question and basically work in a similar fashion to a blind person - by touch. Not a big problem in maintenance, but a huge problem if Brig is hit by greytide and you have to find the malfunctioning doors by hand. This is highly annoying. I request that you boost the range of the lights. Regarding Quarantine - the law is there mostly for the lulz; as AI you have little power over the crew in such cases, I propose no changes. Although for instance - the emergency airlock in Escape to the air tanks is out of camera coverage, so is the bar maintenance door in dorms. You may or may not want to fix it; personally I don't give a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 One idea make the cam lights as strong as a normal light tube (not bulb). This would help alot, for the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
