That's the problem. If it is nothing fancy, you get things like them flying straight into mines because they are "just following their path"..

As soon as you add extra behaviour to deal with each situation, you get strange interactions between the "AI goals" which leads to the AI doing completely bizarre things like not moving at all, flying into terrain, flying off the map and then map-killed against the terrain by the YSNP (You Shall Not Pass) winds, spinning around on the spot etc.

EDIT: You see this in the existing AI. Sometime, the AI will sit at an engines waiting for cooldown to repair the tiniest damage.. while the hull is down.

There is a good reason Muse hasn't implemented pilot AI :)

Escort missions in single player games where you escort someone that is following you is universally hated. While the VIP mode on counter strike back in the day was actually quite fun.

An escort/VIP mode for goio may be very fun, but i rather it be a 3v3 game mode than a 2v2.

They're not implementing it for Adventure Mode?

Yeah, it's the AI that makes escort so frustrating. As long as the escorted ship is piloted by a human (so you can instruct them to hold position, watch out for mines etc.) it would probably be fine.

I.. don't know. I would imagine if they did, it would be similar to the target balloons in Sandbox.
