Smart AI. What fun?

Back in my C64 (the enemies weren't as smart back then) days I remember the tactic of getting really close to other ships and releasing missile being effective as it hit before could use ECM. Have tried this in Oolite enemy ECM activates really quickly. Is this still a viable tactic?

The Enemy AI has done this to me on a few occasions when i have been lining my sites up close behind.

This is great as it adds to tension and keeps my finger hovering over `e` when lining up now.

Does anyone think the smartee AI`s and harder kills make the game more fun?

" Is this still a viable tactic? "
it would appear not

Does work on head on approaches, as long as you stay uppermost (oo-er

)

Cheers,

If only I could learn to Ignore my Pride (read idiocy) and learn to run.

"Ignore my Pride" - good name for a ship! (in the same vein as Cap'n H's "Dubious Profit")

I was thinking of naming a ship the Oh no, not again

That would be a 'Bowl of Petunias' class cruiser I take it....

I always use my middle finger on the A key so my forefinger always hovers over the E key
