AI fighters are added as a feature in .74a as an alpha feature for VIP players who own a Carrier.
How AI Fighters Work
- As the name expects, AI Fighters will be controlled by a AI, but the carrier's pilot can launch them, recall them, or force them to attack/guard something (the pilot MUST be on the pilot seat).
- If the AI Fighter dies (and let's say you have 1 AI Fighter before it died), you have to respawn the carrier to regain the amount of AI Fighters you have.
- AI-controlled Fighters do NOT recall in the same way player-controlled Fighters do. The difference is that while player-controlled fighters are teleported back to their spawn positions on any given carrier. However, AI Fighters must fly their way back to near the hangar on your carrier to teleport back to their spawn position. This makes recalling AI Fighters extremely slow by comparison to player-controlled fighters, and is a major downside to the usage of AI Fighters.
Getting More AI Fighters
- In order to get more AI Fighters, it costs 250 robux each, but it is permanent.
- A VIP Player always gets 1 AI Fighter (which would basically cost 365 robux due to the VIP gamepass costing that much).
| Amount | Robux[1] |
|---|---|
| 1 | 250 |
| 2 | 500 |
| 3 | 750 |
| 4 | 1000 |
| 5 | 1250 |
| 6 | 1500 |
| 7 | 1750 |
| 8 | 2000 |
| 9 | 2250 |
| 10 | 2500 |
| 11 | 2750 |
| 12 | 3000 |
| 13 | 3250 |
Trivia
- AI Fighters were available in version .73f for a very short time, it was quickly removed, but then got re-added in version .74a.
- Before AI Fighters were released in version .74a, it was common for rcouret to test AI Fighters, but when AI Fighters were being used in that situation, any players that joined that same server would be unable to join any faction no matter what.
- AI Fighters that are recalled are known to cause a bug where the carrier goes up to the recalled fighter's top speed (e.g. Nimitz having Interceptor F's top speed), caused by getting on a recalled AI Fighter, and then the pilot gets on the seat.
- The most amount of AI Fighters that can be launched at once is 13, likely due to Nimitz having the most amount of fighters.
- ↑ This does not include the 1 AI Fighter you get if you are VIP.
- The AI Fighters feature is somewhat controversial among the Galaxy community, as it is seen as a way to "Pay-2-Win" Carriers such as the Nyx, Prometheus, Kapisi, Hailstorm, and Retro Nyx; because it turns those ships from strategic tools dependent on in some cases an entire team to function effectively, to monstrous flagships capable of easily overwhelming the defenses of bases, destroying them or any ship unfortunate enough to be on warp cooldown while near such a ship equipped with AI Fighters.
