I get my shot, raking Brandywine over the bow at close range.

44208

Amphion turns sharply to port, and as she starts to move again, Brandywine clips my stern. Both vessels end the...

I'll try and send the latest version your way later this evening. Bear in mind that it is not a finished version yet, so feedback will be used to improve the ship handling.

I stopped the battle at this point, as I felt the AI ship was too focused on maintaining the weather gauge and not on coming to grips with the enemy. Still, I thought it made a decent showing. I...

Perhaps you'll take mine for a test drive, Jonas? I'm trying to make one that is more situationally aware.

It kind of sounds like you got it, Chris. The question is, based on your experience with how the ships handle and based on your orientation to the wind and your position relative to your opponent,...

I have been working on a set of solo play rules and think that a wider field of input would be helpful. To that end, I plan to ask a number of questions to help me flesh out the AI maneuvers.
