Would be very cool if we could have bots complete EVA missions on their own, such as mining or clearing a nest, clearing out enemies from a beacon station, etc. There's clearly fighting AI routines as pirates / bandits use it, it would surely just be a matter of routing the bots through a cave or outpost to then do their thing.

Send a bot with maxed out fighting skills and very good weaponry and they should stand a very good chance of winning. Send a squad for more security, one with medical skill, a very effective fighting force!

However, I suspect the devs wouldn't go for this considering that the game is about the horror aspect rather than sitting in a sub and turning the game into a crew management thing, the horror aspect is pretty much gone.

I have looked at the AI routines myself in the game code, it's really tricky to follow even for basic routines (limited or no comments telling what things actually do or why), and modding the AI would require LUA which I'm not willing to get into as it can introduce instability and security concerns to the game.

Ah yes ,Perhaps that's the points why it's not added yet in the official features . Thank you so much for the Opinion and idea . I thought it could be done with XML only ^^; . I hope you have a great day .
