Just curious what's new? > major Improvements |

Not seeing too many familiar names...
haven't played since 1.20 or so...
It seems to me; other than Parthian Shots and disagreements on weapon techs;
(inside jokes)
the main single most common discussion was the AI...
how is it now?

I think it's getting smarter.

The stock game plays marginally better than when you had played it before. Still a ways to go. Community mods have evolved considerably, however:
Balance Mod has an AI that's quite a bit improved from what the stock game has, but it also changes several other things about the game play.
Unnamed's AI Mod changes only the AI, leaving the rest of the stock game, well, stock. It's pretty good, though not yet to the point of being a stiff challenge.
Fyron's Quadrant Mod changes only the quadrant definitions and graphics, those changes make the game much nicer to look at.
Unnamed's and Fyron's can be combined. Balance has Fyron's built-in.

Well in my humble opinion as a relative newcomer. The balance mod has made some nice progress on the AI. Still a ways to go though.
Groovy Baby Yeah!
