Bots with Customized ships?

I was wondering if it is yet possible to make custom ships for bots. By this I mean ships that take a while to accelerate and decelerate, ships that can fire two weapons at once, ships that die in one hit, Ships with a Higher top speed than normal

I know the one hit death is possible with players though I don't understand the complexities.

For the bots that die once and that go faster than other players, that will not be possible without a levelgen I believe :/

You can do all of those (from within the bot itself). You just need to read the friendly manual. If you have specific questions about implementation, those are always welcome. (Usually best to ask in the chat).

oh hey
I can make my own ships speed go past normal speed just by typing
speed = 2
setThrust(speed, point)

but not s_bot. It seems hardcoded, as if someone purposely did this, yet I can tell s_bot to go .5 speed or less.
although even my drone's speed is not allowed to go past a certain point i think

I don't know :P But I guess using boost twice (on in one tick, off in an other, on in an other, off in an other) would work, but I'm just guessing :3

Is it possible to have bots use other modules like a cloakbot?

( I know repair bot already exists.)

Or is it possible to have bots use whatever weapon/modules has a advantage over yours (smart weapon and module selection.)

Yup. You just need to be good a programming the AI.
