NPC ships need common bloody sense

They should not attack a ship that is 1000x their own size. If a wanted space pirate in an isanth stumbles upon a gigantic titan, chances are that the space pirate will flee because it will die.

NOT FLIPPIN SHOOT THE TITAN WITH ITS USELESS LASERS!

It's definitely a good point, the AI could use a better survival instinct

It might help if they adjusted how pirates spawn to account for mass of player ships in the region to factor in the strength (measured in mass) of the pirate ships and quantity of pirates that appear.

Sounds ranty

That said AI is just some good basic framework the AI update and overhaul I believe is right around the corner and would no doubt include this kind of stuff along with integrated ability to make NPC factions. Just give it some time AceFace

Only if we leave bobby's suicidal keenness intact, giving 'him' survival instincts would ruin drones.
