Give Stygian Furies more Coms
Specifically, let them be your "sensors" in another system. Much the way bots parked in a sector used to before the change in sensor distances happened.
Only keep them with the same limits as any player, but able to report who is in a sector and what they're flying. This would be fairly balanced, since they're obviously vulnerable to attack, have the same distance limitations on sensors, and have a limited lifespan. It should be a simple matter of allowing them to join a group, then they would automatically do their reporting on the group chat. It might be good for this to be a group that doesn't prevent the owner from taking a mission, however. I don't know if that's possible.
The only other thing I'd like to see added to them would be a command to head for a given sector so that they could fly ahead of the owner.
This would inspire others to build the things. But for now they're relatively useless. This one small enhancement to an existing manufacturing process could put a little life into the game.
If they had increased com capability with the owner, they'd have obvious advantages to just about anyone: traders could check the system ahead; pirates could keep an eye on a WH; VPR could widen their patrol areas; one guild could spy on another; smugglers could ... wait... we need to add smuggling too....

Not actually a small enhancement. It would require a bunch of new features added to the mission system. Though I'm all for those features being added.
First they need to have a few bugs fixed, the most annoying being they attack you when you run into something in your ship. After that, +1.
I thought they did fix that bug...?
I think they did.
Oh, I never heard anything about it.

- Bots no longer attack their defend target if the defend target damages itself.
- Bots that damage their defend target no longer get attacked by other bots with the same defend target.

While at it, why not add a command for the bot to attack a spesific target?
Yes, being able to specify a target for pets to attack would be nifty, as would having them be able to report back what they see to their owner etc.
Short answer: it's beyond my power to grant. We were lucky enough to get them to stop going rabid on the owner/each other.
