Artemis Collector

Oct 01, 2004 RattMann link
The description for Eo sector C-7 says there is an Artemis Collector in that
sector, but there is not.

Bug Report submitted.

It is there, but it's not there 24/7. After it dies it takes a while to respawn.

Damned inconvienient, that is.

yes, Artemis's dont re-spawn at all.

I've noticed this with the Kannik Collectors as well, takes a while to re-spawn.

Artemis's respawn after you've killed all the Orun's in it's wing. For me, once I kill an Artemis, ~4 Oruns attack me. If I kill them, all 4 Oruns and the Artemis respawn.

You can't "camp" in this game. You have to kill most of the bots in the sector to get the higher xp paying bots to respawn. Oh darn I'll have to shoot things....

Artemis Collectors are not high "xp" paying bots. They are, like second from the bottom of the heap. As to the issue at hand, if the bots are not going to be there,
then the "contents" screen next to the Nav map should be updated to show the
presence (or lack of) bots in a given sector.

Perhaps the nav screen should be updated to say "Bots sighted"?

Stuff should actually be where the game says it is.

I think the system is fine how it is. Having the bot listing continually changing would be extremely irritating when trying to find a sector with whatever type you are after. Not to mention by the time you get there there's a decent chance someone else already shot the bot anyway. No change.

I agree with Moofed. There's no reason players should have an omniscient Marauder's Map that shows you where everything is at any given point in time. If you look around, RattMann, you'll find that there are even some sectors that have bots that don't show up on the map. I think this is factored by your faction standing, the more the faction likes you, the more information they share.

Part of the game is the range of possibilities. You have a sense of what's going to happen but the world is dynamic. Like Moofed said, I have had to deal the problem of someone killing the Artemis Collector before I could get to it. Oh well, next time I'll have to ask if I could have a turn at shooting the bot when one enters the sector. And for myself, as a player, the Artemis is a hgih xp bot becuase for the bots I can kill it gives me the most. To me that's a lot! :)
