Emperor’s Shuttle made even more useless by terrible AI!!
Firstly, let’s just say that ships used to be fun before Han’s Falcon. Now it’s like Revan, just a bunch of the same line up going up and down the ranking.
Secondly ships VERY NOT FUN for those without the Falcon especially when we struggle to build a fleet only to have AI render our line-up even more useless than it already is facing the Falcon.
In particular let’s look at the Emperor’s shuttle. Firstly it is ‘almost’ a good ship, very unimpressive and disappointing but I’m going with it anyway as I’m forced to try an Empire fleet since my previously awesome SUPER G12 maxed Home One is now useless facing Home One with the Falcon.
Now about the AI. One would think the AI would bring ES when 1) several enemy ships are target locked and/or 2) there are several or even all of the ally Empire ships launched. 3) there is an ally Empire ship in the battle that needs healing.
Nada.
My ES comes in with the enemy Bossk taunting and target locked with no other enemies target locked, BEFORE Vader, and with my Tie at over half health. WTF good is that!? If ES is going to come out before Vader every time because the AI simply prioritizes support ships before attackers then ES is completely useless.
Vader is best as an early reinforcement due to the dots, spreading target lock early and when there is a tank still healthy with taunt up. Vader et al spam target lock and then ES should come out to heal Vader or Tie, use its special on all the target locked enemies and then have a healed Empire ally taunt to protect ES and finish the match.
So can we please have some improvements to the ships AI. The set order of tank, support and attacker has got be improved. And how about an Empire rework starting with giving ES more teeth like it should have to counter Han’s Falcon, not to mention Tarkin’s mass attack is now like a mosquito biting an elephant in the face of a wall of Rebel’s with full protection up.
Or we can all just use exactly the same fleet. Zzzzzzzzzz
