These unaliged scum bots don't deserve to be called pirates. They don't accept bribes, they don't pick up the goodies, they are just mindless gankers.

A pirate is first and foremost concerned about the acquisition of wealth. The only purpose of the current unbots is making gray space dangerous, which is fine, but that does not make them pirates.

IMHO, pirate bots should predominantly fly Corvus ships (certainly not UIT ships!), with the exception of harvest-scooping haulers, and most importantly they should behave as pirates! (This brings me to another pet peeve of mine, which is that station guards/strike forces should also fly nation-specific ships such as SVGs, IBGs, TDs and Valks to give serco/itani/uit space more character, but that's another thread.)

I'll post some suggestions in the Suggestions forum about what I think pirate behaviour should be like...

Damn it, so then I'm the only one who has yet to see NPC raptors?!

Np i saw some escorting some convoys last week.

I've seen the NPC raptors. They are nasty bots. Move fast and seem to have much better control over the ship then most player-users of raptors say is possible. They scare me.
