About abuse, sure, good point. The mod should limit that.
I've been modding X3 Reunion game while ago with scripts and I must say it's a joy doing that there. The huge drawback is that there is no multiplayer. What I want to point out here are 2 facts:
- There is no realistic logic that cap ship should not have it's own wing for protection (Let's look back to our world - cruisers before the WWII had it's own seaplanes)
- Current defences are; hmmm how shall I put this? There are no defences. That contradicts with the first military rule: STAY ALIVE.
And yes AI is crap, but annoying enough to tangle with fighters and bombers (this is more like a pocket question - How much do you have? What can you buy?) If you launch a fighter (as torpedo or a missile), it will be lost after certain amount of time. And ships cost money (A lot of money!!!)
Surrender now!!!
Running is pointless. We will hunt you into the farthest depths of Sirius.
