gollark: FTL: Faster than Light, a spaaaaaace roguelike thing, has players able to do all kinds of cool tricks because of interesting interactions between things, but the AI is dumb and can't do those. It can't even do prioritization right.
gollark: Which would be fun and interesting!
gollark: Some games would be a lot harder with competent enemy AI.
gollark: It's closed source, too.
gollark: It seems to break randomly in bizarre ways quite often.
