new I 8 station Idea ( hiring mercs)

Jan 24, 2010 sr25e link
I think it would be cool if you could hire bots to help defend the station, now the logistics are a bit tricky but the idea is that you can purchase a certain amount say like, 10, now that you have 10, only ten can come out at a time but what happens when they die? do they re-spawn? well I thought that would be a little unfair to the attackers so, my thought is that you can buy up to ten bots and then purchase re-spawn lives for each one. So maybe 10 lives for each one and then after they die ten times you have to go back and buy them again, and if the station gets captured after taking out the turrets then the new owner gets the bots. Also this gives a wide range of what can be done, for instance you could get a control panel to control your bots, tell how many to come out at a time, give them what ships and weps you want them to use ( you would have to purchase it all for them though)tell them to target certain people over others, command them to fly as wing men with your team ect. I think that would give a more militaristic feel to the game, and really add some realism as well as a fun new playing style ( general ) any way I hope you take the idea into consideration.
