Boss and Normal Type Simulacra

I've wondered today after farming the TM with Sims why we only got Veteran type Simulacra (2 Chevrons). Of course there are many other issues with sims, but I think that would be a neat addition:

In a box appearing when making a sim you can decide which chevron type it will be (Normal 1 Chevron, Veteran 2 Chevron, Boss 3 Chevron) (also this would be the box where you can decide what LO the sim will have (standard NPC LOs or individual ones (using /loadlos?) and what lvl it will be). The execution time of making the sim will take according to how many Chevrons it will have. So a Boss Chevron will take quite long to make, while a Normal one will be quickly done.

Another reason why I'm suggesting this is, because different chevrons act different when it comes to how often they use abilities.

... and to be honest, soloing the TM with sims takes much time if the sim isn't willing to do many abilities. Also 2 Chevron (Sim) vs 3 Chevron (TM) makes it even more difficult =/


Edit: Simulacra *doh*

Simulacra.

A good idea, and something to be considered if they ever were to let us select load-outs when we create the sims. Unlikely to ever happen, though.

Also, I wasn't aware that three-chevron NPCs behave differently to two-chevron ones. I know the former have more health but I thought that was it.

Anyways, I do think they use abilities more often than lower chevrons.


Edit: >_< I made it sound like as if Latin is a sickness. Had latin for 6 years, bah =P

Ah, yes, them having more IS would make sense, though they probably cheat when it comes to things like that. They cheat everywhere else.

Single chevron NPCs rarely activate abilities, Gunmen may activate Disarming Shot
2 chevron NPCs activate state special sometimes and on the rare occasion normal
3 chevron NPCs activate state special sometimes and normal specials sometimes


I Think thats how it goes anyway.
