Deneb AI Question

May 10, 2012 greenwall link
Is there a balance mechanic in place with the AI in deneb border skirmishes, much like that of CTC? Itanis are currently winning 21-6 in player assisted victories, yet the overall wins are still quite even (41-40 Itani, as of right now). Clearly the serco are winning much more while doing much less...

I've noticed this leaning in previous weeks. It's a shame we can't page back through prior week results for real analysis. It is much more pronounced at the moment though.

Current score Itani 48, Serco 47. Itani assisted wins- 24, Serco assisted wins 6. If balanced, the score should be Itani 57, Serco 38 by assuming 1/2 of the victories would have occurred regardless of player intervention.

I hate the balancing act of deneb
I think deneb sectors should only be awarded only when there is actually players in them.

Not just letting the computer tally up some lottery machine for sector wins.

P.S

They are not really even, they appear to favor Serco in the beginning of the week then during the end of the week it's a landslide whether there is any Itani/Serco there or not

Reminds me of vegas with the cards stacked against serco lol
If the tally was only recorded for missions actually taken then we might see a better representation of whats going on there or at least some incentive to actually be there.
And all these alts etc. just because it's so far away from grey are boring.
Last week was pathetic with only 3 Serco player wins and sometimes even less

All this relates to the promotion and sale model of VO which stinks for an otherwise pretty cool game.
Will they ever get enough players to keep the Deneb war going with player activity ? Thats the real question
I'm haven't resubscribed this month and reluctant to do so due to lack of player activity. I don't really like many of the Unity games around but at least there is a huge amount of people playing them all the time no problems finding someone to join in battles which makes even a (so so game) interesting.

But anyhow thats getting away from the post, but again against the lottery system in Deneb and for player counted system
