What exactly was done to the defbots? They same to have unlimited radar range.

oh, no more spacing?

Too bad the morons are gone too, that was a fitting name for them

They dont, andreas, check again =)
Same setup as just after the reset, except they are better at avoiding mines and have a better acuracy

I was 15k out from the 6wh in 3 and had the bots well spaced. When the capper entered, 4 of the 5 defbots broke. I think Andreas may be correct.

Pirogoeth, "?", you did experiments in 2 and came out with bloody noses...could this be why?

If bot 1 sees somebody the others will break off.

Nothing was done to the defense bots aside from renaming them. They communicate with their scout, as Durgia says.

I was 12k out, 1 wasn't in my radar range and 3 bots found me out of the blue.

Ah, must have been that one rogue bot, i see...

NPCDEF 1 stays in the center of the sector and calls the others back if somebody enters.

If we kill #1 do the other bots still come?

they have a limited radar cause i can go to s12 and go far away and the def bots don't come after me

If you kill a defbot when you're far out, it marks your ship and finds you again when it respawns, no matter how far out you are.

(a1k0n) "Nothing was done to the defense bots aside from renaming them. They communicate with their scout, as Durgia says."

How about the respawn time?
Mar 16, 2004 Pirogoeth2 link
That's been changed for a while...

a1k0n can you do something with [NPCDEF] red 7-12 cause some one goes to s12 from s5 they don't go after you cause i can go through there and run like 40km away and they don't even notice me

when there connection timed out earlier today, there was like NPCDEF Blue 7-12 in s11, but in blue centurions, when you quit Vendetta and log on, they dissappeared, weird...
