Quote:And the virus argument is just silly- so what we just stop using the wonderful programs computers offer all together just because viruses? Have you ever heard of this thing called "antivirus"? It's not 100% effective, but it helps.
You clearly just don't know how cyber warfare works.
Quote:Then 1) avoid getting shot at by emp - the ship is designed to outrun, 2) use special shields designed to somehow counter EMP
This is balanced, how?
EMP guns in freelancer are specifically designed to tear down shields.
Quote: the point wasn't the npcs inside GTA5 and how they're AI
In other words.
You have no idea what an AI is.
AI is distinctly different from a scripted programme.
AI might be "highly sophisticated software" but the way that software functions is distinctly different from a game.
The Director AI from left 4 dead is a task-specific AI because it -adapts- to the flow of the game.
Albeit in a very restricted manner.
GTA5 is a bunch of predetermined sequences, of which most of them are on repeat.
It does not "think" as such in the same sense the l4d AI does.
And that AI thinks in a very, very limited scale.
An intelligent warship is ridiculously expensive.
BESIDES THERE IS ALREADY AN ID/FACTION FOR THIS.
THAT WOULD BE THE AI ID AND THE AI CRUISER PUT INTO CONTEXT.
