I think that we should have more kinds of bots, such as tracker-mine bots, which follow then explode. Please suggest other kinds as well.

Cancel my vote for more bot types.
I misread it, thinking that you meant more varied bots with different skills based on their programming, not "bot" things that aren't equal in ability to a player.
I want other people to program bots - so far I seem to be the only one who has done any heavier-duty work on it.

I believe he's talking about bots that behave essentially as homing missiles, exploding when they're within range.

I'm not wild about the idea of giving special powers to bots that ships don't normally have, but I'd be open to discussing the implications of "self-destruct" as a weapon choice.

I was meaning that bots and ships should have equal capabilities, while when I cast my vote I thought he meant more robots programmed.
