(Retired) Assertive Cargo Ships Rival AI Test Build

This mod is no longer maintained, if you would like to use the version that is maintained head to https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1902970975

This is the Rival AI Test build of Assertive Cargo Ships, once this version has been tested and includes all the ships that are in the current mod I'll roll the two together, but until then let me know if any of these ships and their more interesting drones cause any problems.

Please note - the cargo ships will NOT work on Pertam and I have no plans to fix this, the reason is due to the very low atmospheric height on Pertam making most of these ships unable to fly there.


***Major Update 12/8/2020: This mod now includes bases as well as cargo ships, with the base behaviour tied to both faction standing and threat scores. If you play nice and run away from the ASSERT ships and bases you'll be left to your own devices, but start fighting back and ASSERT will escalate and try to punish you for it

***Major Update 6/9/2020: Voiced radio chatter for most interactions now included as part of the mod. An enormous thank you to my patrons who provided their voices for me to add some much needed human elements to the Space Engineers universe

***Minor Update 9/10/2020: New targeting in use by the drones, instead of homing in on players they'll select the closest valid player or grid as their target which means any drones spawned due to being attacked by another NPC faction have a chance of targeting the attacking faction instead of the player. Also made the Panini's remote control block a little harder to get lucky hits on.

***Minor Update 5/2/2021: Drones now have NPC only thrusters in them that will make them more effective and I've fixed the broken behaviour on cargo ships so they'll now be upset if you damage them.
