Don't allow CTC Bots to attack you at a station...

I know this has been brought up before and i'm bringing it up again because it really bugs me. CtC bots aren't following thier transports or are not destroyed at a station.

My suggestion, don't allow bots to kill players in the no fire zone Or make the SF act to protect the player.

THANK YOU

I second this.

I was docking into a station when stray convoy bots turned on me. When I tried to defend myself, the strike force* appeared and turned on me.

I was kiven a temp KOS and had to flee the sector only to come back later and race my way to the dock.

I consider that a bug.

(*hey, I didn't write stroke force this time!)

Nah I say leave it.
It's fun when you got 10 bots all trying to kill you and your entering the station at 240 hitting the enter key a million times :)

Supposedly, the Devs are already working on making escorts more intelligent, so they don't go off after the first hostile they see and leave the transport unprotected. Escorts going away once their transport is lost (and they were not engaging enemies at the time) seems to also be in the works.

So, Patience (TM).

I'm sure none of the CtC problems have been addressed in a long time because the new sub systems for the AI and missions are going to give way to something better than CtC cause lets face it, CtC has been kinda a piece of crap ever since it was invented and it isn't the devs fault it is a fault of the current way missions and things have to be done currently. back in my day there werent even missions we hung around for the hell of it like it was some kind of interactive IRC server where the only thing to do was try to outrun [AI] Fygar and his pal in s9 with your bus full of blue widgets!

In conclusion thing always work out for the greater awesome eventually and one day you'll be defending some new bug to someone else saying "back in my day all we had was buggy CtC not epic *insert future here*"

Can't wait!
