Hello, I'd like to see this plug made, but since I have no skills in that catergory what-so-ever, I have to simply post the idea here...

I've noticed something about the Voinians... they seem far too arrogant, for they don't fire their turrents in a charge, only when turning around, and they only fire their rockets, which have incredibly long range, at short range! Why doesn't everyone fire their heavy and turrented rockets at long range?

I know, you probably think it would probably upset accuracy in most cases, but I don't. Notice how they just charge at each other in a straight line? Why not pummel your opponets as you go? Imagine carriers launching barrages of fighters that shortly afterward hurtle their rockets toward an incoming mass of enemies? I would love to see the Hinwar, Elmalgha, UE, and Voinians all start an all out firefight before even reaching each other.. what can I say? I love carnage!!!

So, what I'm asking is for someone to make a plug that sets the turrent rocket and heavy rocket to long range weapons, like the hunter missle.

The trouble with this is that you can't really fix this, given the AI's lack of this knowledge. And if the player got into an engagement, these long range rockets would be fairly easy to dodge (and they do sort of launch them at medium range anyway).

It's an interesting thing though, since combat could be vastly improved as far as the Voinian-UE war goes. What I'm wondering is why a Voinian Frigate costs 2.5 times more than a UE destroyer, yet loses to it every time -- I think it's probably because of the neutron turret repeat rate glitch though.

I do believe Matt has mentioned something about Nova fixing this problem ... I'm already fearing that wicked long-range AI.

Bah, I'll kick its butt with my Kestrel-equivalant. Hope EVN's much better than EVO...
