Well, it finally happened.......
« on: May 27, 2006, 04:06:53 pm »

There I am, wrapping up a well-deserved victory over yet another armed Romulan convoy, when suddenly all my AI "help" unloads  alpha strikes into my starboard side!!!!  Right into the down shields I'd been protecting from the enemy!

Yowtch!!!    Stabbed in the back by my own creation!   It was only then that I remembered all those t-bombs I'd been tossing around.   I guess I must have nicked my "friends", and they didn't take that too kindly.

Talk about snatchine defeat from the jaws of victory.   :o

Are you serious?

Your AI allies turned on you?

Wow.....

Yeah, it's part of the Betrayal option in most of the patrol missions.  It's the same feature that let's you shoot your teamates.   If you accidentally shoot your AI allies, they take it badly.

Does that happen in single player too?  (Plotting against nephews).

You bet, with the "HB" scripts:
Met_HB6Patrol.scr
Met_HB10Patrol.scr
Met_HB17Patrol.scr
Met_HB11ConvoyRaid.scr
Met_HB14Enigma.scr (irrelevant in this one I guess, since you don't get allies)

Why?  He's not my nephew.

Looks up Who's Who on the Dynaverse and see it says "Hexx is so screwed."   That explains it.

Exellent.  Thank you.  Now if I can just get the time to do the very special ship list I have planned.  (Primitive and slow ships for all - no sensors or scanners).
