hollow helm
(This is not a full on fix for ai, just some possibly maybe easy ways to improve it)
-
AI should consider what their own weapons are capable of, for example a ship with only thermal lances should try to avoid aiming at shields or parts behind shields as much as possible.
-
AI could consider things like reactor or ammo AOE explosions, and should aim for reactors and such instead of directly aiming for parts nearby if the reactor is less defended or destroys lots of vitals at once.
-
AI could take supply routes into account when aiming, though this might be a stretch for coding/optimizations and could also be extremely punishing for some newer player ships.
also make ai less dumb and aim for literally exposed control rooms instead of like airlocks and garbage
