Summary0022192: AI Combat Sentry (aka murderbot)-- Balance Suggestions
DescriptionThe new AI combat sentry is *extremely* effective in its role to the point of making cloaking tactics pointless in its presence. Basic observations:
1) It can decloak things at a high rate and global range -- the fact that this is global should be constrained by its efficacy. It shouldn't be able to fully decloak my Raid Frigates until they can fire at least 2 salvos off (raid frigates could potentially get a buff to their cloaking pool as well)
2) The thing deletes raid frigates (this seems specifically directed at me =P ). The fire rate compounded by its bonus damage to high albedo makes this ship a nuclear deterrent for cloaking. They need some sort of damage reduction; I think it makes sense for this unit to be better at dealing with cloaked strike craft as opposed to single-targets (frigates)

Does the AI get these, or just the hunter/warden? The intent was that this should prevent the strategy of leaving cloaked units around to get vision on planets.

The regular AI are getting these, they don't go around with the warden, but sit as system guards.

Yes, I put these in the FreakySurprise group. It was intended more for the cloaked flagships, but those are gone now...

* AI Sentry Frigate now decloaks much slower (from 2s for MK1 vs MK1 cloaked units, to 8s), damage 600 -> 400.
