AI War Beta 5.090 "Fish Or Cut Bait" Released!

[Cinth]

Spirecraft and FS for sure. No other way to go

[Hearteater]

SCL should reduce AIP by 75%, so only around 600.

[Cinth]

Think that will be my next game..... How far into a corner can you push a 7/7?

[chemical_art]

Melt your cpu.

120 planets, 8 HW, snake, all exos on, fs, hybrids. Take everything.

16 HW and no golems.... I just don't like them (they don't live long enough to be worth it in these types of games).

[chemical_art]

I just wanted more things to shoot at. I wonder how much fun the botnet would have too.

[Cinth]

Depending on what AI you play against and what unlocks it gets, it could be an asset for a large part of the game. But in the late game I don't see it doing well, and at that point you have an Exo with no real reason.

I'm starting to hate Tackle Drone Launchers. Really hate them. They're one of the patrol ships, and an hour in there's a bottleneck I have to punch through to break into the galaxy at large. The system isn't too well defended, except for 58 tackle drone launchers with over two million health each. The mark 3s defending some systems have about 6 mil each. Just as evil as gravity drain patrols.

I guess I'm going to run starships this game. Perhaps Zenith and Heavy Bombers. Hopefully that should make things a lot easier.

P.S. Oh, I forgot to mention something. MiniFortresses and Forts still have tachyon emissions? It isn't listed, but I see the purple circle when I check ranges. The only cloaked units the AI  has, however, are my zombified reprocessors, a victim of viral clusters AI.

That's not tachyon emissions, that's the counter dark matter range.

Hmm. Rebuilding at negative energy needs a look.

Patch notes: Command station remains can now be rebuilt even when energy is negative, to avoid the "you need power to get power" catch-22.

Remains Rebuilders now process command station remains at negative energy by removing said remains from play. No command station spawns to replace the remains. Effectively the player selected the remains and pressed Del.

Wait, doesn't having two anti-DM units per planet effectively neuter astro trains?

Astro Trains come pre-neutered.  Anti-DM isn't relevant.

Astro Train adopters, remember: spay and neuter, keep the train population under control.

Why do I now think we need a Reproducer Astro Train?
(That is, under some condition there become two, similar to viral shredders, although probably not damage -> BP based, though I'm not sure about time based either)

[keith.lamothe]

Zenith Viral Astro Train.

Congratulations, you have destroyed the universe.
