Bot Kills

Mar 15, 2005 blacksabre584 link
Scenario: you're crusing about your way, when suddenly you find yourself caught in an ion storm. Much to your dismay, you wind up with a pair of assault bots on your tail. You toggle between your targets, weakening them both. They fly close together; so close, in fact, that when you finally frag one of them, the other goes up in smoke, robbing you of a kill. Is there a way to change this so you're credited for both kills?

I also find it irritating in a number of botting spots when numerous players are competing for kills, and one of yours is stolen by another player either putting in the last shot or destroying another bot, the blast of which kills yours. Is there a way to fix this?

Two bots with one stone SHOULD yeild two kills worth of points, I agree!!! Fix please…

As for kill stealing, while it's not smiled upon, it happens, it's a big universe try botting somewhere less populated with players.

This would be nice for queen kills too. When a queen blows and takes out the assults around her, you get XP for the kills (assuming you hit them at least once), but it doesn't count for the combat mission. This might make combat missions fun.

What's even more frustrating is when a bot bumps into the queen and she blows. I've run into this problem more than once because I need to get my cent clear of her blast radius before I finish her off, which gives her escorts time to ram her a few times. [EDIT: Last night I think I got credit when this happened, so this second issue may not be a real problem.]

So, can this be implimented?

blacksabre, generally we just make the suggestions here and then the things either show up someday...or they don't. The development team, though awesome, just can't possibly reply to the many posts in this forum. If they like it, they will add it when they get a chance.
