Co-op Tutorial
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 7:53 am
I know a lot of suggestions have rolled in lately, but this one's simple:
Suggestion: If there are 0 (human) players on a team, make 1 AI go to weapons and the rest mine.
Reason: Sometimes I find myself in a CC lobby with a new player who is interested in the game, but we just can't get anyone else to join. So we end up doing a 2v0 and I show him around a bit. I find this sort of co-op tutorial a far better alternative to the actual tutorial, which is at best weak. However, I can't give the new player the full experience because there are no enemy small ships and the enemy BC just sits and does not fire back. I think having a couple of miners to shoot down and the enemy BC to fire back just a weak single burst would improve the overall experience.
Note: I think this should not happen in Test Mode.
