OlavDeng2 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just as an aside, if anyone needs help with recording, feel free to message me. Anyways, here should be my result, spent about 40 minutes messing around with that LGV on my first day. Since i wasted 50 minutes i dont expect to win, but irregardless worth a shot (46:05 to about 1:27:40) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Death Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 In this post: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/20881-ai-shooting-double-charged-carronades/&do=findComment&comment=423693 @admin said: "Ai sometimes carry carronades on stern. They don't carry carronades on broadsides. Ai is dumb, but it is not a loot button. Also keep in mind CTRL L reports are inaccurate and are not maintained since penetration was implemented. We do really recommend to all players who say ai cheats to learn to play before making statements like that. In fact lets start a competition all proceed here." [Link to this post] My response (posted here because other thread is locked): I think you misunderstood what I was addressing in my original post, that is: AI is shooting double charge with carronades, something that no player can do. Is this intended, a bug, or is it something wrong with the CTRL + L? I understand the penetration values of shot log are wrong/not maintained, but isn't the cannon type/shot type correct? By the way, my comment about "AI hacking" was meant as a joke, AI is quite dumb, as you say, but is well within the abilities of an average player to handle. On to this: I shall attempt to participate in this challenge, but if my computer rig can't handle recording while playing, would it be alright to use an external video (as in, placing a video camera in front of the screen and recording that)?

surfimp Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 OK, I tried a few times and this was my best effort, about 25min with base 4lb cannons. I got 73 kills with one of the grapes, that's my best I can remember ever getting with the Basic Cutter. I made a hash of the boarding, so have a laugh at my expense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfimp Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I'd like to also confirm what I suspect is one of Admin's unstated motives in posting this challenge: to show that an AI LGV can be a very lucrative source of revenue for a low level captain. It takes hardly any more effort or time to cap one than to grind a Cutter in a Mission, but the payoff is much better - especially the loot! I started today with very little in the bank and after a few tries (trying to get the best time I could), I'm now $150k richer. If a mediocre captain like I can do it, anyone can 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
