I like that the new addons are obtained through bot drops.

I do too, though to be honest I think they're on the wrong bots. They should drop from NPC convoys, not the hive. Why the hell would the hive care to conceal what cargo it is carrying?

Good point landron. NPC convoys escorts should drop light & heavy XP too.

I would be happy with just combat XP, but yes, killing convoys should definitely provide experience.

Perhaps only if the convoy was of a faction with an unfriendly relationship with your home faction? Not sure whether, for example, UiT would reward you for killing off another UiT/TPG convoy.

But yes, convoys should have XP drops.

Perhaps only if the convoy was of a faction with an unfriendly relationship with your home faction?

You and I both know that's a bad idea, for painfully obvious reasons.

Once I can be unaligned, it might make sense.

Experience is not a reward from some pissant faction or bloated nation.
