Wha?
Also, I wonder how big this quote pyramid will get before it breaks? Shall we find out?
Love to see Fighters included

I guess I mis-named my topic... Sure, fighters would be tiny, but I'm thinking like heavy bombers or fighters - relatively big units that are more than just a little gnat-sized flying gun. The kind of heavier units you would send in to soften up a massive battleship or base, with high speed strafing or bombing runs.
I've been messing around with this for a while now. With all of the scaling options, I've got a bunch of little fighter style units that I've built (averaging about 1/5 or less the size of my standard ships), and that negative AI distance trick makes them do some interesting stuff, for sure. Just be nice to see an actual AI selection for it, where the AI distance is the standoff distance that the unit would retreat to after each run.
A guy can dream, can't he?

Do you know how may fighters there were? 20 max. Generally 5-10. Not exactly on a massive scale. And the game ran a consistant 45 FPS with particle effects, grav fields, and spacetime fabric. How many demeters are you supposed to generally have going at once with fleet of Arcases? Between 10-20. Show some forethought before being critical of people's ideas.Müg wrote:Ouch ouch ouch.

What? Game Maker is in no way, shape, or form "modern" game programming.I know plenty. What I don't know, however, is -modern- game programming, where it's acceptable to throw in threads willynilly.
