Weird bots

Nov 27, 2005 DragonEmpire link
Just now, myself and a fellow guildie both saw weird bots, but not the same ones. The one that I could see (Warthog) he could not, and I could not see the two that he saw (He said one was a Behemoth). I got some screenshots.

Bronab shooting at a bot I could not see, about where my crosshairs are is where his shots disapeared:

The following two pics is of the bot I could see, but Bronab couldn't. He said that my shots disapeared when I shot at it:

I just saw this the other night too. It was in Sedina and I had just killed a queen. All the bots jumped out (except 2 observers), but yet I still saw two assaults on radar.

If a dev is interested, look in your logs for Sedina M-2 for this event:
[Sun Nov 27 22:08:23 2005] *Orun Collector PP-1853n jumped to Sedina System, Sector H-7

After this group of collectors jumped out, I saw two red dots on radar, just drifting away from me and the jumping bots (I was shooting into the crowd of bots, but I don't think I hit either of these assaults). Both bots were just drifting into empty space.

Like DragonEmpire, I could shoot the bots, but it had no effect.

I could not damage him either... he just kept flying along after coming out of the wh.

I reported this night one... the devs are aware (I even demonstrated it for one of them).
