Loyalist Titan still having issues & TEC flagships

from Sins Forums

Currently, the Group Shield Ability continues to activate inappropriately.

Im finding it will most often active whenever it has the antimatter and its guns are firing.

 

I.E: When its shooting a scout frigate, or attacking a frigate factory. It didnt activate it when i attacked a starbase though.

 

Very annoying, ive taken off auto cast... but still annoying.

 

ALSO:

 

Finding that the auto cast on teh flagship abilities is very uncommon and not very effective.

 

I.E: Currently attacking a Kol Flagship with a Akkan led fleet, no sign of its immune from disabling ability. Also no sign of its invulnerable shield, despite it having the crap smacked out of it. These really undermine the flagships...

Most of the advent abilities are also using autocast horribly.

Good things it's a beta, eh?

Yup, and let's report these things so they can be fixed.

 

Which abilities specifically, Scudhawk?  (Unless this is already posted in a list somewhere, you might also want to make a new thread).

The AI can not and never will be as clever as a human player at knowing when to use something so you should not in any version of sins have things on autocast except the thins you dont need to controll - the improved defence on the tec loyalist for example - that can stay on auto cast but the snipe on a tec rebel titan should be controlled. Same with all the caps (tell me you dont leave your sheild restore units on autocast?)

I have noticed that the Advent Mothership doesn't auto-cast Shield Restore unless it itself is under attack. And the shield bubble from the cruisers are terrible at auto-casting unless you've got a dozen or so.

So yeah, AI auto-cast is kinda broke for now.

i think at this point you have to start micro'ing yourself, this game takes alot of the stress away, but if you remove much else it might as well be a sci fi movie, you can't expect the devs to code abilities and then set priorities as well as situation and health related triggers, if you're attacking a starbase what are you doing, do you jump in the grav well, set attack and sit back and watch? Guaranteed there are other ships you could use abilities on that would reduce your losses or increase chance of victory.

With the titan you dont want that kinda think on auto cast anyway, wait for an opportune moment, such as attacking an advent sb when it uses meteors?

The hull restore when you're at 60% rather than 80 to reduce chance of overlapping, ofc its all situational..

There are some times when i think dam i wish my iconus used shields at the right time, but then i thought.. id rather be in control, like with repulsors since it is so useful when you take control yourself, you get a better feel for the fight and will always come out on top of someone relying on autocast!
