The AI default Hull and Balloon first and foremost. Use the commands more or set them to F1 "as you were". That way if all AI, the gunner will shoot & Engineers will repair. Ai on a 3 person ship is Fine but AI and crew can unbalance the AI. The AI will never be situationally aware.

DJ Logicalia:
A few things to clear up about AI behavior

Firstly, they can't fly. AI have no ability to grab the helm in any scenario, even if your captain has left the match. (A bit of encouragement, the pilots who d/c on purpose in the middle of the match rarely make it out of novice. If you stick with the game a little, you will rarely have this issue). If you want your ship to stay in the fight, you'll need to have one of the remaining crew members fly the boat until, hopefully, your pilot comes back, you get a new one, or the match ends.

As far as repair cycles go, yeah they can be a bit wonky, especially on certain ships. One of the reasons AI don't really get improved on is the AI are more of a fail safe. The game is designed to be played with humans, so developer attention goes to things that benefit human players before improving the AI. The robots have also been improved drastically over the years. They're better now than they ever were, even though they still make a lot of mistakes.

In case you didn't know, the commander on the ship (the player highest on the roster, goes to captain unless captain has left) can control the AI. By hitting F2, the AI will shoot the guns and stop repairing, while hitting F3, the AI will drop any gun they're using and start fixing things, looping around the ship, prioritizing certain components in a cycle. F1 sets them to their default nature (AI engis repair, AI gunners shoot)

Time to crush some babies....

Only real problem with AI scripting is their ability to shoot beyond 500m and their ability to shoot moving targets, chem patterns, how engie captain produces 2 AI gunners, and how engines are lower priority than guns.

But if these were to be fixed, you would not get better.


Guess what? Any vet can pilot. If a captain rage quits any one of us can take over the helm and still win at mid lvl play. Why? because AI shouldn't be carrying your lazy butt. They are only there for sharing the load.

If you don't want to be caught with your pants down, buy a utility belt and become steampunk batman who can adapt to anything.

Crafeksterty:
Ai dont fly and they choose to do commit to an action one step at a time.

So while the AI is running torwards the damaged baloon, during that time they wont reconsider to go for the hull if that gets damaged during when the ai chose to go for the baloon first.


So heres a tip, use F1-F2-F3 to put them on different positions. F1 is their class, F2 is all gunn, F3 is all Repair (Or the reverse between f2-3)
When i see the ai running torwards the baloon when the hull will be needing attention, i press F2, then F3/1 to make the engineers re-adjust their decision.

They suck, but they suck for a reason.
