*UPDATE* New AI Beta Version (20160516)

[wr@ngler]

Just to let you all know that a new AI beta version is out, those already on the list should be getting the dowload link. Just replace the BC_AI.exe in \Battle Command\Station\AI\ with the new one.

Changes and improvements:

• AI now assigns various movement missions to otherwise unassigned combat groups during the middle game phase

• AI should now maneuver to close with the enemy in various new ways

Anybody interested in trying out the new AI Beta, please get in touch with the devs via purchase email or post in this thread so the devs can get back to you with the download link.

As mentioned, please post any actual feedback in the beta feedback thread.

I don't know how much time I'll have available, but I'll give it a shot...

And the big one, pre-defined plans for the AI to select from, with dynamic transition to full-AI when the plan has played out:

This should make for some challenging scenarios!
