Collector Bots
I would love to be able to manufacture collector bots to mine minerals for me. These could be your bog standard collectors one finds in bot sectors and in order to maintain balance, the could have a 50% chance of going rouge and joining the hive every 24 hrs. Manu cost should be similar to the superlight.

I wouldnt mind if they had to remain with you to go places, and could be parked to mine and then later be retreived. Instead of them going rogue, how about up the chance that a set of npc hive or npc pirates spawn in a sector they are in? Maybe not 50%. Hows that sound?
i like the overall idea, but would it be sort of a mission or how would you implement something to follow you? have like a cmd just like the a capship but like /undock "botname", /follow "botname" ect you get the basic idea. but i think the longer its out there the more chance the 50% rises per 30mins? like its a collector bot the most cu collector bot i know is a dentek that has 32cargo. also like add a /cargojett "botname" added? also would the chances be higher the close a skrimish is? makes sorta sense ya know, queens control its bots and levi control queens, so closer the more chance it can be hijacked. could players also hijack player made collector bots that be something interesting. just throwing ideas on the wall and seeing what will stick to be honest at this point lol.

Good idea, and that you could also make assaults, and guardians and transports
