Advancing AI Modules

[LaggerCZ]

Since the last update, game has got high reliability on turrets of bigger ships. Due to that, I would like to see more AI Module options avivable for turrets/ships. My suggestions are:

-Defense Mode: This would make AI Defend Itself. It would activate when a ship gets too close (about 300 meters) or when any friendly ship whitin range of scanners would be attacked. At that point, I would fire at attacker.

-Fighter Mode: This would make AI to get extremely close to any unknown ships in sector. If succesful, it will continue to damage it at close range.

-Salvage mode: AI will try to use salvage beams on asteroids/planets/stations. After filling its storage or being interrupted by another ship, it would run back home and deactivate itself.

-Repair Mode: This would make AI activate itself when it detects damaged modules on friendly ships/stations in sector. It will repair damage and after that docks back.

-Bomard Mode: You will designate target. AI will get at maximum weapons range -100 meters and fire at it

drop your suggestions, I see big potential in that AI

What about having customizable aspects put on top of the basic types? Beginners would be able to use them and advanced users could have more flexibility in their designs.

I would like to see using an Advanced option under AI allowing you to code your own AI for your ships using a language (made-up or real) and an API system much like the turtles on the ComputerCraft mod for minecraft.

I absolutely love this.

I also wish that, if you added moar bobby AIs to a ship/turret, it would be more accurate. :P Current aiming is perhaps a bit off... Took 25 minutes for my 5 turrets, with 3000 AMC cannons apiece to kill one damn trading ship >_>

I would like part of a defense mode to be to return to the position it was activated after the threat is eliminated or goes away.
