DUDE! This is an Excellent idea!

By corral do you mean have them follow you like we do with the whole "pied piper" thing in group mining?

Dunno how we would ref this. I think it might be best to have voting based on style points. One judge from each nation. Taking your bots through a hollow asteroid would earn you more points than keeping them in open space.

only because there is nothing better to do in game is this even a thought. Where's the update already.

Johnhawl is right, the game is stagnating, at least for experienced players.

This could prove an interesting diversion though...
