How do I kill THAT?
Over the next few months, in accordance with the mission statement of the Serco Defense Net, I will engage and destroy every type of bot in the game. I will post my findings in the How to Kill section of the bots page of the VO Wiki.
This can be found here
The collector bots are done, in addition to four of the assault class bots.
With any questions or concerns, contact me on one of my pilots: Vehement, Everson, or Pancakes
If that fails I can be reached by Niki or Miharu through other methods.

I would disagree with your info about the DenTeks. I think it would take most people two strafe keys, and also some distance control to take them out.
Artemis and Denteks actually have decent dodges (for Collectors), and all bots fall for the constant strafing to one side tactic (I remember TyCorps in particular are suckers for a vertical strafe). Also, yeah, Collectors tend to ram you since your ship is usually faster and, even when dodging or backpedaling you overtake them. Maybe general "how to kill" information (like the fact I mentioned above) can be added to the general bot description, and any specifics of a particular drone added in its own description, so all the info you repeated in all the bot entries would be at the top of the section.
Good thoughts guys. I went in to try them again myself. Neither Artemis nor Dentek collectors dealt with a single strafe and shoot tactic effectively, but I'll change the distance comments some.
I didn't like the repetition either, so I'll try and make them unique.

Don't forget the furies. They still need pictures.
Hrm. I kill things by shooting at them. Usually with gauss or Neutron Blasters.
But I'm glad to see that Aramarth can keep us all constantly updated of his wiki edits and exploits! ;)
Let us all know what you do NEXT time you log into the Wiki! I can't WAIT!

dammit leber...
you wouldn't happen to know where the last two assault models, and/or the other overseer can be located would you?
i'm fairly certain that i know where to find station guards and strike forces. heh

Heh, I use the same tactics on ALL bots unless I'm working on a queen vanguard and need to take 5 or more of them at a time... it's pretty straightforward, and I think training in the art of general botting is more important than specializing on specific bots.
All bots have a sweet spot, sure, but once you know how to find it, you don't need to have knowledge as to what they all are. Through proper use and adaptation of the same techniques, you can beat them all, and the only thing that will help you learn that is experience, not specialized hints and tips.
Hints and tips have their place... but more in terms of PvP and knowing which bots to go after in the first place (i.e, what yeilds good XP, what's harder to kill than it's worth, etc.)

Your more advanced assault bots are found in the company of Gray space queens.
Cunjo: The target of these tips is the group of players who have not seen everything there is to see in vo like you or I. Hopefully reading can instruct some in the absence of trial and error or asking us. It isn't for everyone, but there is no harm in it. It can certainly teach people what we know about choosing assaults over guardians.
Lecter: Thanks. I was hoping that wasn't the only spot, since the Sedina hive is down at this particular moment.

As much as I hate to say it then, Jex is right about where it belongs. Add the information to a section of the entries on the bots themselves.
