my suggestion is that bots have different skill levels depending on their profession ex: traders suck at fighting but good at getting away, location ex: someone in grey space should be a lot better at fighting than one in nation space, 2 or 3 different fighting styles for bots of each type, and noob bots to keep newcomers company when they start ex: bots that hang around the stations in the starting systems. but this shouldnt affect the hive because each of the hive bots have no personality and are all the same.
