Vl3d Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) I guess MechJeb is called P.a.i.g.e ... probably it's the same AI that handles the simulation / tutorials. Later edit: It's just the tutorial helper AI. Edited February 21, 2023 by Vl3d no MechJeb in the EA release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm going to jump in on this one before it gets too far. There is no MechJeb in the game. P.A.I.G.E. is the name of the AI in the new tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Personal Artificial Intelligence for Guidance on Exploration, but yours is more succinct. Chances are, the full name is never spelled out and we are equally correct.

dansiegel30 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Well, I fully expect the devs to implement some type of automated launch and land system at some point in the life cycle of this product - else, the game will fail long term commercially. Launching and landing manually is hard and taxing to do repetitively. And a vast majority of casual players will not have the patience, especially if they expect those casual players to be mining resource, making munar colonies to harvest resources, and launching interstellar ships (albiet I believe when you get to the interstellar part of the game, they plan to have an orbital VAB - however I am guessing that will have to be fed resources you mine from Kerbol celestial bodies). Anyways, if they call that future automation P.A.I.G.E. and actually have it talk to you while performing the automation, that would be an awesome dovetail from using PAIGE for the tutorials, albiet I would much prefer the voice of the HAL9000.

That is just simply not true. It may be the case for you, but the vast majority of players don't use MJ or other tools to do these things. Heck, docking is far harder than landing, and most people do that manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automated supply routes for colonies have been confirmed for a while now, so you'll only have to do each resource delivery grind once. Maybe P.A.I.G.E. can have a line or two about being the one flying those missions once the colony update drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vl3d Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 There's no MechJeb in the game for now. P.a.i.g.e is just the tutorial AI. And the image is from the game, it appears as a pop-up when you run out of fuel and states that you can revert the flight if you want to. I was not confirming anything, I'm just trying to make sense of everything. I might get it wrong a lot of the time, so that's why it's useful to correct me.

The second thing is the times when I've had to make refuelling runs from Ike or Gilly to make my interplanetary ships fit for the return journey, or constant Kerbin to Minmus runs for science/tourist missions.. If PAIGE can help with both, she's my new hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to make sure everyone understood what P.A.I.G.E. was (and wasn't). The videos yesterday were awesome, but they weren't very clear on that point .

For what it's worth, I understood you weren't trying to be directly literal by referencing mechjeb I wonder how much the 'simulation' system is gonna be used, seems pretty neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your attempt to make sense of something that hasn't even come out yet was certainly confusing and made no sense at all. I simply ask that you please be more careful about what you post so that there is no confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Since the original point of this thread was severely flawed, has been corrected, and has become a non issue now, I think we can let this go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
