Hi. I made a little test mission. A single DK Raider vs. A single Hyperion should be no problem for DK Raider. But for explanation:

Raider has 10000m to Hyperion. No problem, but after firing his Beam 3 to 4 times (Hyperion Damage 90-95 %) he's so close to the Hyperion. He just flyes around the Hyperion (without getting in shooting position) and the Gun turrets of the hyperion made space debris out of the Raider. Is that normal i tried with 3 Raiders but the same problem. I think it's a problem cause the Raider has only 1 Weapon wich is a beam and the firing arc isn't the best. Could this be solved in any way?

My english isn't best sorry. Question to Board. How could i load up my selfmade missions?

About the DK Raider...
The problem is the AI.

The TBP team is trying to create a special AI for Gunboats, like the Raider, Whitestar, etc...

(I think!!!)

I guess it'll have to be in bigger letters next time.

The Raider is there for your entertainment only. Until it gets a new AI routine, its not going to work properly without heavy scripting. Its not a problem...its a feature...one that we will overcome later.

Multiple waypoints putting the Drakh Raider in the right place at the right time ought to suffice. That and plenty of playtesting

It'll work okay from a distance but when it gets close it'll start trying to do bombing runs, which won't put the target in front of it's main beam long enough for it to be effective. I want to upgrade FS2's AI system myself but in all honesty I'm waiting for HT&L first so I can upgrade a decent version of the game engine.

I don't know. I have faith in RandomTiger for some reason.

If you set it on waypoints, and then set the cap-waypoint speed to a low setting, that should give the raider time to take out the hyperion, if you don't want to sacrifice speed, then you can always set a second set of waypoints going away from the hyperion. Then use the event manager to add a goal (ai-chase). This should fix your problem.

By the way, what is your native tongue (language) ?

What if the Raider would have a fighter AI ? Would that be better?
