And the game has started and u find out ure AI now is that good or bad?
Well to me i personally HATE being AI
but anways if u wanna protect the humans well and not make them call u a noob heres a guide....

First things first,what body should u pick? well it depends on how u play as a AI and what u like best abt a certain AI body....
Heres the Pros and Cons for all AI bodys....

Cyborg:
Pros:His permantent invis rocks! u can go into other aliens ships without em knowing! (Unless they use reveal)
Also this guy can seriously pwn an alien at early game it can take down mental and physichal aliens like a knife true some warm butter.
Cons:Ok first I'll like to say....HE DOESNT HAVE A SINGLE STUNNING SKILL(this makes it extremely difficult to kill mental para esp with him psi blasting)

Hunter:
Pros:Able to tank dmg from paras ,a true survivor and an expert para hunter.
Cons:Like the Cyborg,it doesnt have a single stunning spell,also he is only speciallised in 1 on 1 and will lose in a gang fight,and plus the life leech has a bug,when u life leech,ur hp hits 1 then suddenly gos back up,if para attacks u during these moments,ure dead.

Guardian:
Pros:Has an extremly pontent ultimate,allowing him to kill paras easily by teleporting them to him then smashing them,also is extremely effective against atro by combusting its mana,also like its name says,is one big tanker.
Cons:Like the hunter,its only good against one on one fights and also does not have a single stunning spell

Robot:
Pros:When charged up with upgrades,his 2nd skill can do 425 dmg along with a 4.5 second stun,making him extremely effective against mental paras.
Cons:Is fragile,if a para can do a few good hits at him,its GG.

Tank:
Pros:Is an excellent para killer, he explodes paras like a nuke on an ant.With his laser cage ability,its impossible to escape from him as he has a speed boost spell and having him in seige mode can kill the target shorter than u can say I LIKE NACHOS.
Cons:Obviously if ganged,can get killed very easily.


Sentinel:
Pros:very cunning ,can blink around and run away from any danger as well as chasing the para
Cons:very weak, and not meant for combat.

Ok now that we have gone true the bodies its time to do some basics

1st of all bulid 5 or 4 salvage drones,send 3 to the technolodgy vendor in the weapons lab and sent one to the bridge and the last one (optional) sent it to look over the power gen and oxy gen(group these drones to properly control them.)
Or u can send 3 drones to the tech vendor in weapons lab and 3 to cargo and dock yard tech vendor(this way u can upgrade much faster,however its very troublesome to control them.)
use these drones to keep buying robotic parts and then returning them to the rsm,repeat many times till u have enough to buy ur upgrades.

Now that thats done,Its time to decide what to do with ur AI first,
1.guard the bt
2.guard the rsm
3.follow the humans(keep an eye on them)

Now what upgrades do u buy for each type of ur AI?.....

If u are.....
Cyborg:I dont really know,buy what u like =)
Hunter:2 energy generators and 4 ability 2 boosters.
Robot:1 energy generator and 5 ability 2 boosters.(THIS MAKES UR 2ND SKILL EXTREMELY POWERFUL!)
Tank:1 ability 3 unlocker 1 energy generator and 4 or 3 dmg boosters(if u choose to take 3,use the other space for self-destruct unlocker.)
Guardian:1 Ultimate ability unlocker,1 energy generator, 1 2nd skill booster,2 attack boosters and finally 1 hp booster.
Sentinel:2 energy generators,4 or 3 2nd Ability boosters (if u take 3 2nd ability boosters,take a ultimate unlocker upgrade.)

Now that thats done,heres some stuff u need to do before u start the operation:exterminate all paras....

kill all mini paras in the bio lab,if u see that the cages are opening themselves,sum1 is using a stealth suit to free em,use ur reveal ability at the RSM and reveal around that spot,find out who it is and kill that person(watch out for self-infectors,kill the next person whos closest to the bio lab if u see a dead body on the ground,dont worry even if the person u killed is innocent,ure allowed one innocent kill.)
Next,get the humans to bt,if u see ppl near the bt and they dont wanna bt just kill em.
Moving on....

Stratergy:
Guardian:ALL PARAS FEAR THE MIGHTY GUARDIAN!!!use ur reveal at the rsm,get the location of the para,tele the para to u and smash em.
another way is to go to a ship,send it off to space,then recall the para to u and either kill em or self-destruct.

Robot:Find the para head on,blast it with ur 2nd skill and whack the shit out of it. use ur reveal at the rsm to reveal the para if it is invis.

Tank:Find the para head on,laser cage it and go to seige mode then blast the soul out of the para.

Cyborg:wait for an alien to go on to an explore vessel,turn invis,go into the ship while it is taking off (without the para knowing)then slice the shit out of it when the ships on space.

Hunter:Find the para head on,and attack it,do not fear of dying as you are a true survivor with ur life leech(rmb to use life leech froma distance cos of the bug thing.)then slowly keep doing this untill the para is dead.

Sentinel:Be a bastard,kill the para in early game by fluxing to chase them and slowly kill the shit out of them.also another way is to control more than 1 explorer vessel by fluxing around then blasting an alien on a ship with 3 ships and kill it.Also u can blink to their ship and kill them one on one.

If u ever die,quickly send a salvage drone to get ur chip and revive ur AI before para gets it,dont worry,the salvage drone is a fast bitch altho its fragile.
If u get infested...oh well just play on and try to kill em humans,dont try sucicding and then reviving to uninfest ur self,it doesnt work.
I dont have much to say to infested AI since most of the skills suck except the ulti which does alot of dmg.
Well thats pretty much my guide for AI what do ya think peeps? :)

I like it, although I suggest having more feedback enhancers for guardian instead of energy generators, and advising its use against physical paras.
Also: i break the rsm and armoury doors for faster micro managing.
Finally, keep a drone with repairs to heal your ai when needed and to get chip quickly.

I like it.
Its a messy format, but that can be excused.
Your strategy is good, one note on Cyborg's. If you try to get on a ship WHILST its taking off, u can get sucked out of the airlock, causing ur (and ur chips) instant death.

Np, and that's fine sauc, i was a bit miffed that day due to homework issues.
Speaking of airlocks, i had a bit of a scary moment the other day while playing para, i cant remember what i was but i wanted to kill whoever was in the ship (so i was probably para) and i went towards the ship, and i actually saw the floor starting to open before getting teleported into the ship o.O
Pretty close call XD

[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
I reckon the vaccum ablity is a good enough stunning ablity, also u forgot teh epic vaccum/bomb combo.
And the gaurdain is not a tanker! The tankers are.
Hunter
Robot
Cyborg(Because of its evasion)
And Tank, if needs be, as the Siege Mode adds about 150 hp
Also the Sentinel to me is more of hit and run attacker, and one of the most costy AI forms
Here is my build:
Ulti ablity unlocker
3nd Ablity unlocker
2nd Enhancer
1st Enhancer
1-2 Armor Upgrader or 1-2 Energy pack
And Cargo/Support Drones
Strat? Blink, Activate 3nd and 1st ablitys, you deal about 15 extra damage and you have an extremly high AS, dealing a hellva lot of damage.
Then when the ablity wears off, or you take alot of damage, blink out and use your ulti!

Lol, I was parasite and I was versing the A.I Sentinel, he was dieing so he used his Time Sphere. I was prepared and put a bomb next to him, waited a sec, then deto'd it. He came out of time sphere right into a bomb and got asploded.
