bot radar range

Jul 24, 2020 Drevent1 link
Not sure if this should be in sugestions or bugs but bots can follow you long after they are out of radar range
this is not fair and causes a lot of problems
if I cant see the bot then the bot should not be able to see me
they can allso see through roids tho I cant see them

well, while I think occlusion should be calculated stronger, I actually disagree about an NPC's out-of-range detection. There are many missions that spawn NPCs in empty sectors, which may be waaaay out compared to the mission taker's position. by allowing NPCs to know where a player is, the player is able to wait until they have an idea of where the NPCs are coming from, instead of having to search - and, for mobile pilots, that might be an impossible task.

I see what Luxen is saying, and I agree with it. However, perhaps mission npcs could have the unlimited radar, and static npcs could have a limit.

if we can differentiate the two, then aye, that'd be perfect
