So I was leaving map and noticed that I had 30 move, 35 initiative. I have power boost on this ship and should be at 32 move, with 32 engines. Screenshot below. http://prntscr.com/hto4b3
Also, I think the new AI system might be bugged. I warped into an offensive sector in a T4 ship and there was already a T4 and T3 fighting there. At first it was T4 AIs warping in. In the next round a T5 ai warps in. Then 2 more T5 ais warp in the next 2 rounds. The T3 gets killed, and a T6 ai warps in. Another T3 player comes in to help my side and ANOTHER T6 warps in next round. At this point, it is two T4 and a T3 vs 3 T5 and a 2 T6. The T3 gets killed and the T4 leaves due to low hull. I am bailing at this point at well and so I make my way to the edge of the map. Next turn, a T7 AI warps in. How are we supposed to even stand a chance against this AI? 3 T5, 2 T6 and a T7, all AI, vs 2 T4 players. I dont get it.
We also saw several fights tonight where T8 AI were spawning even though we were in a mix of T5-7. I suspect your captain rank somehow factors into the equation now.
Heinous -- yeah, if you have 32 power without anything applied, then it should be 32 move. So something doesn't make sense there, though I do know sometimes the readout is wrong, but you still get the full 32 moves. As for the new AI system, it is intentional. The longer a battle goes in a region, the AI will come in with a stronger ship. It was bugged before, were the same level AI kept coming in to the end.
