It's ridiculous, it's a mixture of frigate, valkyrie, and a monkey.
The weapons of the frigate.
The radar of the frigate.
The swiftness of the valkyrie.
The mind of a monkey.

Time to reduce their godness. They can track you beyond ranges of 15 kilometers, have the frigate cannon (how the hell did that mount on a Vulture, let alone two of them), and have infiniboost above 200 m/s. What's more, they'll damage you out of a wormhole before you can ever fire. I've had more than one cap ruined because some bot respawned 4 times and tracked me down 25 km away from his flight path.

I saw somone leading around a group of 4 or 5 defbots like it was nothing. They couldn't even hit him. I think it was Elusive (fitting moniker).

Having said that, infiniboost is way unfair.

Hint: Frigate Cannon is *Small* port.

SC, anyone can dodge defbots. I can dodge them for hours without boost and without doing anything funny (ie hiding in station or spacing). Without their guns, they'd be worse than if they weren't there. Now, I hate them as much as anyone. But until they actually do something, they need uberness.

Agreed, the bots are there to be uber, to protect n00bs in their home sector. They are fine the way they are, untill the brain transplant.

I think the bots should have a super smart a.i. Smarter then any human player.

Then, and only then, their weapon should be toned down.

I think there needs to be 2 types of bots, the normal vults, infi turbo, long range, deadly energy. Or sunflare. And then the heavy bombers, protecting the station and surrounding area. Equiped with swarms, mines or adv gatlings.
