Shuttle Traffic

well for animation... it would be nice to get rid of the old A2 problem of ships staying still while atacking. like having them doing evasive actions.

[yodavoice] Leaving the topic you are, hm? [/yodavoice]

This is about shuttle traffic, not about the other ship's AI, is it?

I don't know, but in most forums you usually open an own thread for something like that.

Where would you run to? Inside the very station thats under attack? I'd rather attempt to defend then flying around in circles or running away on the off chance some other ships would help me.

if the shuttles would be a game-part (meaning they are not just a visual effect) they won't be any harm, caus every attack ships would first fire a low-low-low phaser on them and burn them away. the shuttles are just a optical gimmick, and flops is no ST simulation it's a strategy game

Yes, but according to the way you want it, only a few ships would be attacking. Meaning about 12 shuttles could swarm your few ships for about 10 seconds. I find that thought pretty sweet even if they cant do much damage and get blown away all because you seem to think shuttles serve no real value. We all know that you cant destroy a base with 5 ships, or even 10 ships if the AI is set above easy. So I still think they could serve a tactical purpose even if you only add a small little phaser on the front capable of destroying 1 BoP in 20 seconds only if all the shuttles in your base attacked only it Could you please tell me what you WILL do with the shuttles if anything, because I dont like playing a guessing game. If you could do something, that would be great but if you dont want to change them at all, please tell me so I can stop trying to think up ways to impress you

its very unlikely there will be changes for the shuttles in beta3. perhaps in a future version, but i like the shuttles as they are now

Well Eufnoc, im not sure if you hate me or my name or something, but you've been correcting me since I joined the forums. No I had to wait 3 days for an answer and just because some of us dont see the edit button right away, dosent mean you have to be rude.

That's just Eufnoc, he got slapped so many times by the others here in the forum. And now he's looking for someone else to compensate that.

@Eufnoc: I'm joking...
