It's already too dense with rules - last time It almost ended up with a flame fest, because one GMG wasn't sure about one thing...
Anywho - rules aren't the solution. Feeding bots is okay, provided the supplier is IN combat one way or another. Nothing like a generous, "dead" or "neutral" spectator.
How to execute that - no idea... scanning is quite... erm... inconvenient during a dodgy dogfight. oh and... PROVE IT.
