I may be mentally challenged for even mentioning this, but I have to know. Do the AI in Sins of the Prophets actually follow your ships to your planets if you leave a battle via slipspace? If I was fighting a covenant fleet and decided, "Screw this" and went back to my capital, would they follow me or would they find it anyway? Would using the Cole Protocol from Halo help save your capitals?

Given that travel in Sins is restricted to specific interplanetary lanes, the Cole Protocol doesn't really apply. The AI's natural expansion would eventually get you.
That said, what WILL save you is fucking MAC stations and minefields, because they're OP as balls.

I always see these threads and for a split second wonder why i'm being called out by name, before remembering i'm named after a important in universe protocol 
To repeat though, really it couldn't be done. And honestly there is no point with the AI being the simplistic thing it is. If you really wanted to though, a commander could just send a bunch of ships out of a gravity well in random directions to simulate the protocol somewhat.

I have the same problem but for more stupid reasons. If I ever play some kind of pvp game and I see bh as in Bluehalo for short (I use Bluehalo or Bluehalomango) I think it's about ME! but find out they meant Behind. I'm getting better at picking the different ones now.
To the point, not only would there be no reasons for a Cole Protocol and it's hardcoded but it would also mess up the pacing of the game, searching for a planet/homeworld. Oh, that just gave me a idea!
I learn from the past, enjoy the present and look forward to the future.

In Town of Salem, a main name I use is omega, and other people have started using it. This ends with me thinking someone is accusing me when they're actually accusing a friend if mine.

It wasn't removed, they just added it to a closed build of the mod. The Infinity has yet to be released to us lowly peasants.

Was it not in an earlier build?
