CTC bots hang around near station or WH and attack players

Dec 28, 2005 andreas link
Sorry for being annoying, but I will keep repoting this as its very old and very cumbersome. CTC bots hang out near the station and attack players. If we shoot back, we a) get botted by the station bots/seekers b) earn a huge bounty. At the same time the station bots don't mind if the CTC bots gank up on players within the safety zone. This is a super annoying BUG, because its supposed to be a NO FIRE zone. It doesn't say NO PLAYER FIRE. Easy fix: make bots explode once the last transporter in the convoy goes down. Or give them a n minutes timeout until they warp out of the sector. Something. Anything.

See the News, Momerath has been working on the missions and on bot behavior. CtC is more likely to be replaced than* repaired.

...and, I oper kill any CtC bot stragglers I find. They are annoying but, as FM said, they may be gone entirely.

(repeat appology above regarding being annoying and persistent about this)

I almost forgot: c) if I clean up the bots in Sedina L2 so they don't jump random people, I earn a huge bounty from the Serco Dominion, costing me some XP when somebody cashes in on it.

Cannot be more than one line server-side to fix this. Just let them explode after the CTC dies. Or at the very least give them a timeout. If they stay more than 5 minutes in a sector, they just ride off into the sunset.

I never get a bounty from killing the bots, but i don't think that is a bug or any real problem, it isn't exactly hard to get by them.

Lets declare it a feature then.

I killed a few Serco CtC bots outside L2, about 2000 m out, and I still got the SF after me. Dunno if I have a bounty. That'd be cool! My first bounty!

I've gotten about 5 bounties. and all of them were for killing serco bots outside sedina L2. I know i couldn't have got them any other way because i rarely enter Serco space.
