I boosted through the swarm, they pursued me for maybe 500m, then turned around and went back to trying to reach the same spot again. So I took a few screenies, boosted back through, and they did the same thing again. One or two broke off and killed me, then flew back to the group.

This is in s15 by the way.

I don't remember bots doing anything like this pre-3.4, so I figured it warranted a bug post.

Haha! I wonder what they're up to; maybe they're trying to make an iMac commercial.

I'll get to that later.. they probably can't reach some place they're trying to go.

Now, THAT'S a perfect spot for an Avalon!!

Hmmmm... are the s8 bots supposed to gang up on you? One two occasions I was being double-teamed by two of the bots. On a third occasion I had FOUR bots after me, including the defender. Is this some type of joke? On a similar note, the s11 sentry bots also double-team players. As if taking down one in a Centurion wasn't hard enough.

Yes, the s15 bots today decided to annihilate me. EVERY SINGLE ONE, as far as I could tell, was chasing me. When I jumped out, an incredible storm of flechette, gauss and tach blasted into my ship.

It makes it incredibly hard to fight the bots when they all team up on you (espectially with a free/light/ion cent ;[ ) - but once you can do group missions I think some of this problem will be alleviated.

you know, once you have rockets :D~
"holy moly, big clump of bots!"
/me lands a nice rocket amongst them

same thing happened to me in s11, but also when i died it didn't show an explosion.
