Fleet Battles Vs AI is Too Hard

Agreed that “Easy” level - erm, isn’t 🙂 It would be good to add extra difficulty levels (Maybe 3-5 Levels in total?). I think a big part of the issue is pinpoint accuracy of AI. Watching the kill cams (which I’ve done once or twice, ahem), AI seems to perfectly track you and stay on target even when passing at high speed. Suspect the same is happening with capital ship turrets? We’re all wrestling with controls to get on target whereas AI just seems to lock on and track perfectly whilst shooting us to bits? Slightly less accuracy might actually encourage players to fly evasively if it’s clear that it makes a difference..

Would be great to address it so there are easier modes (and harder too if some people want that) as it’ll make the game accessible to more people. I’ll stick with it and do the hard yards to learn anyway - but I have a bunch of long-term Star Wars fan mates I’d love to have in my squadron who are time poor and will get fed up of being blown out of the sky repeatedly after a couple of games. Would be great to have the option of some chilled co-op games with them. And more players = more income = more likelihood of future DLC.

Maybe add an AI mode on dogfight too? To learn basic co-op flying without the extra complexity of fleet battles (great though it is)?

I have no problem at all with lower rewards for all of the above to give an incentive to improve and /or pvp.

This is not a case of dumbing down this fantastic game, just give a few more options on how to play.

Thanks to Motive for building this game it’s fantastic and it reminds me why I play video games in the first place.

While I’m here - how about taking a similar simulation approach for the ground fighting in Battlefront - go on, let’s have a “Ghost Recon: Rebel Commando” game next 🙂
