Of course if you have a very accurate firing solution algorithm, you can just add some (maybe normal distributed) randomness to the result, and the harder shots will be more likely to miss by default.Metalfusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559687461988440328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-90674839481189308612014-12-16T07:20:10.069-08:002014-12-16T07:20:10.069-08:00The AI sort of does a whole bunch of practice shot...The AI sort of does a whole bunch of practice shots in its head and shoots according to those. It's quite a bit better at predicting planetary movements than we are!<br /><br />It's not 100% accurate, of course, and we'll be patching it a bit to make the complexity of the shot affect the accuracy more.Team Jolly Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657140285017397967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-90453487841236627182014-12-15T01:50:28.182-08:002014-12-15T01:50:28.182-08:00Thanks a lot for the reports!

We're trying to find the cause for these problems and I suppose the video couldn't hurt, if you could send us a link!<br /><br />About the AI accuracy, we're going to lower it. It was kind of making up for its relatively poor building strategy, but people haven't been a big fan of it. Also we now know the global player accuracy because of the analytics, so we can adjust it accordingly.Team Jolly Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657140285017397967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-46611301041341188792014-12-13T21:27:13.096-08:002014-12-13T21:27:13.096-08:00Ran into this issue as well.

Eventually, after nearly 5 minutes I gave up and surrendered the match, and low and behold, it decided that was the precise moment to play out the turn. Analytics was setup to report, so hopefully that'll help. I've also got a recording of the entire match I was doing for my YouTube channel, which should go up in about 12 hours or so, if that would help. (Let me know if you want the link to the video, I don't run the channel under my google account directly.)<br /><br />On a side note, the AI is insanely accurate. I saw them miss maybe three times in the entire 20 turn match (which is also when I gave up on waiting).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180324522202243074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-20334294173983327822014-12-12T08:03:40.043-08:002014-12-12T08:03:40.043-08:00You are correct it did not. thank you for getting ...You are correct it did not. thank you for getting back to me confirming it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-5593010339004003392014-12-12T06:33:19.241-08:002014-12-12T06:33:19.241-08:00So, did you manage to inverse the projectile traje...So, did you manage to inverse the projectile trajectory equations or how does the AI player aim?Metalfusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559687461988440328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-53566171660291702492014-12-12T03:19:33.591-08:002014-12-12T03:19:33.591-08:00Thanks a lot for the report!

We had this bug just once and it was yesterday just before releasing the update, but it seemed like a fluke. We'll have to do some testing to see what could cause it. Probably patching it next week, if we can track it soon enough.Team Jolly Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657140285017397967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950710182936197459.post-32324279821645928852014-12-11T20:06:17.963-08:002014-12-11T20:06:17.963-08:00Great update, but I ran into a bug with an AI matc...Great update, but I ran into a bug with an AI match. I ended my turn and the the AI was taking a 2 minute turn which I thought was odd. I wasn't able to do anything, F7 didn't help. I could still click on both planets, but was not able to select anything. Now this could just be my computer, but i wanted to bring it to your attention just in case anyone else was having this problem, so as to confirm if its my computer or a bug in the game. On a positive note the game looks beautiful everything else is great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
