I swear that this morning, in 14, i saw bots with rockets. am i insain, or where they really there?

We know you have been insane for awhile... ;-)

Never seen em bots.

i think the same thing too.i flew straight by one...and he shot at my valk with ions basicly missing every time...until i got right next to him i was hit with something that nailed me down 10-20% a hit in a valk.

I think those were Ions, theyre still the ones from 3.1.x in teh bots...
BTW did you see a rocket-like explosion or hear one :D

EDIT: ever try to check your spelling urza?

i saw rockets and explosions. SAW THEM and heard them. and sao dmg done by bots. only bots were near me

Long-Range I dunno mabye you are insain

EDIT: insane not insain

dude.. it was only bots who shot me.. now stop typing and get to playing! teh CCC need you!

I think there may be a player out there who still owns a bot ship and has 'AI' in front of his name.

I'd be a little surprised (but also pleased) if the devs added some rockets to some of the bots without telling us.

If you are correct, the experiment should be (and deserves to be) repeatable.

oh sam, that ahh depending on the time, it could be someone else's sunflare hitting bots.

blaster. If someone else had shot the bot, his/her name would have appered on teh screen when the rockets hit me, unless there's a bug.

The bots in 8 packed rockets on our development server for a while. It was, uhhhhh, quite fearsome. Especially since they couldn't reload, so John gave them 1000 ammo or something. And since they couldn't turbo at the time, he gave them engines that could go 200. Basically, you didn't stand a chance, but it sure was funny.

So anyway, it's possible. It's on the horizon. But we haven't done it in production yet.

There are 17 characters with "[AI]" names but nobody with "[NPC]" names (since the server filters those).

wow... 200ms engines, 1000 ammo rockets, i would be histerical if i had on of those things after me, i would be dead in say, 10 seconds tops.

/me wonders if he could buy them for free "only me :D"

cheers

/me pictures a bot zooming across the sector after him firing constant rockets
/me reminds himself to bind [TAB] to /explode when those bots get released

Can you put them into 8 right now?!

Sam it would crash your comp to see al that cargo floating around >:D

not true.. did you see the pr3.2 mine fields..? i handled them with still a +20 frame rate.

The big one in 1 right before 3.2, that one was great. But remember the time that we all made our little fireworks shows in patterns? And how about the exploding station? w00t!

But, you're right, the cargo probably would crash the server, if not the comps.
