Eye Bots are immune to Tachyon..

It was more about: lightning and flak turrets will (not?) hit cloaked targets if they fire off at nearby targets?

[keith.lamothe]

I just tried the save and killed all the eyebots and infiltrators (though there may have been an accident involving a lightning warhead, I deny responsibility).

Pity about the mkIII NRC EMP that came in and disabled all the home station's forcefield just as the rest of the enemy fleet came into range.

 Gravity counters most of the bad stuff in this game. Gravity 3 + decloakers are giving plenty of time in my current game to deal with eyebots, 85 eyebots mk3 vs 1 gravity3+1 decloaker+military mk1+30 laser turret mk1, the eyebots didn't even scratch my command station.

What I mean is that gravity gives you more time to kill the ones your tachyon beams _are_ decloaking, which causes them to stop boosting the invisible ones, which causes those to be decloaked by your tachyon, so you kill those and they stop boosting, etc.

Aha. I didn't know they work like that^^ herp a derp.
Yes I am able to decloak some of them.
And I just tried that but without Gravitational Turrets^^ I just attacked the Counter Attack Wave with my fleet and easily destroyed all Eye Bots.


But before that.. I ALMOST managed to stop the wave the hard way. I did destroy all Eye Bot by tractoring them away with 3 Mark I Riots... the Command Station was left with about 130000 health... I thought I survived........ really... I was about to post here and say I stopped it "the hard way"!... and then I realized the Mark III Plasma Siege Starship would soon destroy the Command Station.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA that's like a final fu from the AI


EDIT: As I said^^ I'm going learn and stop them without MilIII or Counter-Missiles.

[keith.lamothe]

The AI is indeed very expressive with its plasma siege starships

.....that was surprisingly exhausting battle.. I'm just gonna go sleep lol. It's 22:39 anyway.

Excellent, that gives the AI more time to plot.

I think the Rotten Cow sent those Eye Bots.......

[keith.lamothe]

Yea, counter waves are mighty quiet about where exactly they come from.  You never know.  There could be a cow level.

Yeah that's 10/10 NRC for ya.. and for me too.... I had 3 Mark V Raid Starships on LV-016 which I used to destroy the EMP.

Also^^ now we need a Rotting Cow AI which only uses TDLs and Eye Bots. All Mark V of course. Thanks to the rotting cow all core worlds smell so bad the player must unlock the Gas Mask technology or all player's ships would take 100000 attrition dps.

[Fluffiest]

While I'm highly amused by the idea of an AI that specialises in whatever ship types are the subject of most forum hate, I suspect it would have to be updated too often to be worth it.

[LaughingThesaurus]

You could just call it the Troll, or the Patch AI.
