This is basically my problem with the subscription model and why it may not work out as well as we’d hope: ED is ridiculously slow at rolling out critical core gameplay updates. This is especially true given my preferred multiplayer scenario where there usually aren’t enough players to justify having a special ATC, and if there were then we’d probably have someone doing ATC and LSO anyways – who could do it infinitely better than an AI system. To me, the LSO and ATC are just icing on the cake the real paid part is being able to interact with the carrier in certain ways. The AI, on the other hand, has put a real damper on so much of my enjoyment, whether it’s cheat missiles or general stupidity in flying. You could have generic radio scramble sound for each message from the LSO and ATC and it’d be the same for me. Advanced chatter, LSO, ATC? I’m deaf, I’m going to be reading the text more than I’m going to be hearing and understanding the voice. I expect AI not to frequenly collide in the pattern, do an endless circus of go arounds above the carrier until running out of fuel or crash into each other on the deck. As someone that plays SP and COOP im am mostly interested in AI.
