    Excellent show, loved the debate.

    There should be both types of enemies in a persistent type game, both cannon fodder and high end ai’s. I personally would love to see both from the starter areas onward.

    Thanks for the info boys. As for my listener feedback, AI NPC’s should not be impossible to defeat in any arena. Players should always be able to locate (in time) the AI’s Achilles Heel and give that plug a good hard tug. With great AI comes great responsibilities, ask Uncle Ben. That means AI needs balance just like any other game component.

    I hate easy cannon fodder, Difficult AI will always get my heart racing

    I would love to see the end of world boundaries and no fly zones being patrolled by almost undefeatable Ai but the death should not happen as a one shot one kill more a hard to shake of my tail AI.

    I’d also like to see challenging AI in certain areas where the risk reward might be worth running and dodging through those areas.

    For example, you have cargo on board, you can take a safe route and lose your “early delivery bonus” or you can take the unsafe route where you risk your ship, life and cargo. Being chased by clever AI and surviving with 2% of my ship left, will always get my heart racing as opposed to blowing up swarms of easy to kill Ai.

    I’m actually disappointed Elite will lose the crazy AI.
