Translocators and Forcefields

[Minty]

I have absolutely NO idea if this is as intended or not, but here goes..

AI translocators, if there are no other player mobile units in-sector, will attack forcefields, translocating them to the far corners of the map. This, as you can imagine, strikes me as a tad unbalanced..

A single translocator can effectively nullify a MKIII forcefield in this way, opening up the command centre, turret-ball, or whatever else you have lurking under it to attack, often leading to the loss of a sector or capturable.

I think what you really suggest is implementing an "Anti-Teleport Field Turret and Anti-Teleport Turret"

Yes they can do that and i was surprised as well! But you can simply build a mobile something and they'll play with that instead, but speaking of that.. in my current game i have core translocators.. you can imagine the rest ;p

*Chuckles*

Aye, I've taken to stationing a group of ten fighters on all my border-systems on "Forcefield-theft" decoy duty, within range of a turret-ball, to kill the annoying-blighters.

But then, it's my own silly fault for wanting to try out the "Expreimentalist" AI. I can only *imagine* the pain and extended frustration that Core Translocators cause..

And if you get a couple MkIII Decoy Drones? Have fun destroying them!
