Hahaha, no, the repair ship exists, it has a repair gun now. Don't know how it works.

All in all being able to swap bots in snub combat gives everyone the opportunity to survive longer, at the cost of another pilot (who could also be a good player and perhaps good at dodging) losing his bots. That would render the good player (dodger) as easier to kill, correct?

Without being able to get fed, bad players will die. Fast. And there's no way to make them last longer.

I don't see your logic here.

worse players won't be fed as they're a bot sink. Instead, they give their bots to other people

if you don't see my logic you simply don't remember fights or didn't fight enough back in the day

So if you don't like that other people could do it, but you still want to be able to do it yourself, how does that make you a "fair guy"?

Maybe the real difference between you and those pesky botfeeding LN indies isn't that you are more fair, and isn't that you cant find a noob in a cap to feed you bots while they can, but rather that most LN indies cant find a super-pro ace in a snub to feed them bots while you can?

When was the last time you sided with a noob against aces?

Yeah I've seen noob LN caps giving noob snubs bots, and I saw guys with kill/death ratios above 10 who target solely noobs in snubs complain about how thats no fair. I've seen a cloaked pirate transport give bots to pirate snubs, and freighters coming and going for no other reason than to pass bots. I've seen a cloaked marduk give bots to a gallic snub. Hell I even had an enemy in a snub give me bots cause he thought he was giving them to hos buddy whom I was shooting. But I aint never seen a pvp ace in a snub pass his own bots to a noob to save the noob's lower back.
