We could include it in the capacity of when very small teams want to fight and we can add some bots to fill out a large ticket sum.   Say , like if theres 6 people ( 3v3 ) wanting to eat up 300 tickets on a planet during a game so they can make a decision on planet ownership ... In that situation and scenario I think it can be used ... We will experiment with it more .

We found the right balance ( for my server anyway ) to keep the crashing from happening.
On 64 player maps, we can run 100 bots.
On 32 player maps, we can handle around 65 bots.
And on 16 player maps, we turn down the bot numbers to 50 max.
This prevents crashing out.
It has something to do with the number of AI units packed into a tight map , not the overall number
of bots causing the crash. If the area is too small for the number of bots, a crash occurs.
As for the action , as you can see in the video -

That stormtrooper at the very end of the video was probably the highest flying cadaver in the history of FS .  I still am trying to figure out what exploded and sent him that high , lol .

Its was insanely intense. These were the craziest games of FS ive ever played .
I cant wait to figure out how to have these co-op hamachi connected games factored into our league.
This would already give us hoth ( which we dont have yet ) on the cycle 2 starmap .
Speaking of that , Im delaying release of the starmap until thiss weekend since i want to include
Hoth as a destination .

These games will prove to be what anyone could ever ask for in intense action in First Strike !
Especially when i get them to work in no-respawn mode.

And liek whoa omagod you must all try it! If you've never tried I suggest immediately, going out and gathering up some friends.

Heres a quick rundown of the highlights of the night

TY2D2 gets Circuit and me on
Circuit gets server started
Circuit gets Dr. Pepper
Espa Plays with a hundred or so bots
We find the hidden flying trooper class being used by the bots - http://www.coolanddry.net/insane_player.swf
^^Circuit almost pissed out his Dr. Pepper taking that vid
*SERVER CRASH*
Keep playing Espa
*SERVER CRASH*
Imperialtroop3 joins
Maximillian joins
Moved onto entha
Got the whole squad on Corvette, but still get our booties whacked by imperial bots
ESPA
*SERVER CRASH*
Circuit gets another Dr. Pepper (he really likes his Dr. Pepper wink ) while Entha loads
*SERVER CRASH*
Screw it we're moving on to hoth
HOTH dogfight map plays
We're VASTLY outnumbered due to the bot ratios
*SERVER CRASH*
Its now about 1200 GMT and most of us are in the US so its time to turn in big_smile

Despite all the server crashes and delays we still had a blast, so if you've never tried this before, I suggest you round up some friend and do it.
FYI all: We did do alot more maps than that tongue

Expect more vids and screenies soon
