SplatterPaw Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The last few days on Harbinger has been pretty bad for bot-like behavior. Been getting domination matches where fighters would do one of the following: - beelines to a node and stop, do nothing even when another ship stops next to it and blows it up. - beelines to a node, then just fly circles - beelines to a node, attacks turrets by stopping at max range and opening fire. The toons that do this are usually lowbie toons. This is just not on, it ruins the fun for everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama-Eight Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If they're a bot, surely they're an easy target (not trying to avoid being hit like most players do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still better than most Imperial pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zharik Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If they're a bot, surely they're an easy target (not trying to avoid being hit like most players do). Doesn't mean we want them in the game... Imagine being stuck with a few on your team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadishist Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Submit a report ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALaggyGrunt Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) What is this 'report ticket' you speak of? As for the bot-like behavior, it could be prototyping for flying bombers out to control points so they can do nothing but spam mines.

Xnemth Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thought it was BS till today. In a deathmatch against the other faction, there were two pub strike fighters that were odd. One would fly at the edge of the map, well away from battle and then hide next to an asteroid. The other went and just parked inside a mass of girders in a structure of some kind. Both responded when ya took their shields out, but seemed oblivious otherwise. They weren't even targeting anyone. First time I've seen that. Thanks for the points, I guess. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DroidDreamer Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I almost reported a player for similar behavior: idly flying around with no apparent purpose. Called them out in ops chat too. Afterward I received a tell explaining that he was a noob and trying to learn how to fly. :D I offered to provide tips instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both responded when ya took their shields out, but seemed oblivious otherwise. They weren't even targeting anyone. Yeah, I saw this once in a deathmatch yesterday. Guy parked in a niche in ship hulls then didn't move. He fired back when I blew him up. Didn't really give it much thought. I don't think it is 'bot' so much as 'leech'. Not that you get more than about 150-250 requisition for that kind of behavior though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgrid Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Still better than most Imperial pilots. lol ....I'm sad because this is true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangrar Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 We cannot know for certain if someone is a bot or not (wow did not see that rhyme til after I wrote it lol) if you think someone is botting write a report, it will be investigated and if they are botting they will be punished, if not nothing will be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
