Hi all, I'm really enjoying the new 'point buy' gametype in 7.3... I was wondering if: - you can stop the AI from building resource collectors - stop the AI from building ships after the initial purchase phase - ensure that the AI builds enough of a force to be a real challenge - Make the shipyards hyperspace off the map so that you are left with pure combat oriented armadas on both sides. Thanks for your time, 'sacks. EDIT: Corrected some typos..

It's possible. The answer lies in scripting, scripting, and more scripting. Then add a hundred or two hours in testing (and debugging) aforementioned scripts. No wonder terms like "entertainment" and "proper motivation" tend to come up here and there in this realm. |

Actually most of this is already done. I've got a no-resourcing AI up and working. I wanted to introduce it with a 'survivor' gametype, but it could be easier in the point-buy gamerule. |

re: shipyards that hyperspace off the map. Why bother having shipyards at all? Replacing these with super carriers with all the build options (like the haarsuk) would mean you don't have to bother scripting the hyperspace event. It's just a change to the startingfleets file isn't it? re: ensure that the AI builds enough of a force to be a real challenge I take it back. Got my ass kicked by a CHV, BB and three CAs last night. re: stop the AI from building ships after the initial purchase phase ...and stop the player from building any more ships. This places more emphasis on keeping your strikecraft alive with regular docks and making sure you take care of your capital ships. After the initial point buy phase, your are stripped of all remaining resource points. As RUs are the fuel for the hyperspace engines it would be nice to have a certain amount assigned to each team for exactly that purpose. ..finally, thanks for adding this game type - It's exactly what I wanted.
