== Starcore v3.0 ==

During the summer of 2004 in the middle of spearheading [[DSL-TC]] with [[DarkRat]] and [[Lu-Tze]], Starcore was also working on growing and expanding the Starcore AI pack. He added new AI routines like Omni.py and OmniRammer.py that have become defacto standards in the [[RA2]] community. And many people, seeing the success of Starcore v2.0, jumped in to have their bots included in Starcore v3.0. [[Lu-Tze]] provided the Starcore Arena, DarkRat provided a cool themed in-game selection screen and Rejected provided again a great pack splash screen. Instead of making new bots, Starcore's time became filled with AIing entries from others and tightening and/or rebuilding their bots to be more efficient and effective. [[The Troll]] being an example of shrinking a [[SHW] down to a more effective though still funky [[HW]]. Many exotic bots were brought in including [[Vortex CE]], [[Rabid Pit Bull]], [[Hunter-Killer Tank]] and others by [[Rejected]]; [[3-2-1 Blastoff!]], [[Flying Sheep]] and others by [[Foolishevil]]; and the first stilt bot ever seen, [[Mome Rath]] by [[Corporate Goon]]. There was also a major influx of new 6-bot themed teams, manny following the pattern of [[LW]], [[MW]], [[HW]], [[AW]], [[BW]], [[SHW]] including teams from [[FoolishEvil]], [[C2]], [[Spawngeek]], [[Jimxorb]], [[Viper]], [[EpicentrE]], [[WardenX]], [[ACAMS]], [[Rejected]], [[Artitan]], [[Gemini]], [[Clutch]] and [[Karnage]]. This grew the pack to a whopping 35 teams of 6 bots each for a total of 210 effective, diverse, and dangerous [[Stock]] bots.
