Exactly.... A newb isn't even a threat.... Why kill them? Sadly, bots don't discriminate and just kill blindly. :/ One should write a smart AFK attack bots that chat with newbs instead  Strange that you wrote that. SG's first AFK bot used toll figs, not defs, as triggers. It sent a warning if a player killed the toll. 3 times. The fourth time, the script beamed SG to the sector and wiped the intruder. He didnt use that one very long for obvious reasons, and changed to an L4 version. Still with warnings though.

It's too easy to go in and pretend to be clueless, get some good will, then blow everyone away. I'm sorry, I don't buy that. Your attack scripts can be targeted to just one player or just one corp. Experienced players can spot newbies easily, and if it's a wolf in sheeps clothing, then take them out once they reveal their true self, because you can.

No, most people can't tell the difference. I've done it on several occasions. Usually I play newb until they go to bed, then I cash it out and lock down the game. Very common unlim thing.

Ah... so you're the reason everyone is killing newbs! I don't play unlims, don't plan on learning.
