Give the poor Atlas bots blue ions!
Also set the cargo 12>c>4 and hopefully make it random every spawn.

Hell, give them lightning mines!

no, no lightning mines

me shivers with the thouht :(

cheers

Give em BUS GUNS!

Wouldn't they be useless once they run out of those l-mines? Remember, you can only carry four at a time.

What about giving the Atlas bot an advanced gatling turret? You'd have to give 'em more cargo if you want anyone bothering to fight 'em though.

sure why not? they're too easy for a 150 bot as of now. that thing has more cargo and a weaker ship than the warthog, which are also 150.

Adv. Gatling on a bot would be SCARY.

on a Atlas probably not. In a warthog? *shiver*

It'd be scary on anything. The AI system, once it dodges the roids and targets something, has INCREDIBLY good control of the boost, the battery level and all that. It never overcompensates unless you do some kind of serious outmaneuvering. With rockets or adv gatling or any other dangerous weapon it would be better than any player.

except atlas bots can never turn right. right as in perfect not to the right (opposite of left).

There we go. Drop a gatling on it, up the points to 300 and make people fight for their cargo!

oh but maybe put the cargo min at 6 with gat guns.

But give em real cargo, from a random sector. The damaged weapon components aren't worth it.

well let's say the'll always have 1 cybernetics, 1 engine, 2 damaged weapons, 1 scrap, and 1-7 random cargo.

/me pours a 40 on the roid in memory of all those poor *atlas bots he used to vaporize outside Sky Command station

Can we please have them back? The convoys should be supplemented by scrappy, one-off traders!

and bring back blue ions! =P
