Hello, i have spent couple of hours today with the AI function and i really liked it.
But there are some questions that pops up...

1. It seems like AI can buy a lot of ships, my AI bought 41 of one specific ship. I can buy just a couple of that ship. If am not mistaken it was the frankfurt something.

2. My AI buys a new ship every week, so in a month AI buys 4-5 ships and that is not so realistic.
Also the result will be that it slows down the game, i had like 6 ships but AI had around 50 after a while so it takes ages before my ship leaves the harbour.

3. It's not possible to see how many ships AI haves.

4. Ranking is also something i have problem with, what is it based on?
AI had more ships than i did but i had more money and i had no debts what so ever but AI have lots and lots of debt. I'll guess this goes with item nr 3 above, i would like to see more detailed how AI is doing financially since this information is public also in the real life.

But still, i love the feature and i am looking forward to get new updates.

Best regards,
Mac

yes we will do some refinement on the AI,
it selectes ships based on the most proftable result, btu I will have to add some restrictions on this I think.

An info field is something I will add.
maybe opening the office.

rdklein,

when do you stop the KI opponents blinking every time something happens
to them. I have a game in which the KI opponent has an amount of
45(!) Ships
I have 3 myself.
Can you imagine, how boring it becomes to play against the KI if you've to wait 5 minutes 'til you can act yourself and manage your shipping company?
please, please, please! change this behaviour as soon as possibile!

CT

I have not used the AI for awhile now as it only buys cargo/container ships.

and i noticed that the ki is progressing very schematic.
i played today in the beginner mode agains one ki, trying to progress
in a solid way. but the ki opponent just bought and bought and bought.
in the end he had 4 times as much as i had: status as well as money.
i was trying to biuld up a company with ships i guessed effective.
but it became boring because he finally had 45 ships and i had to wait almost five minutes 'til i was able to do what i wanted.

yes as the tankers and liners are currently working like tramp business, I wait to implement the ai when we have the liner operation system ready.
