 So there are some pretty dumb blue dots out there running in seemingly random and unhelpful places, setting up bases of fire in tactically dumb areas, charging directly into fire, ignoring optimal ranges, disregarding hacks, etc.
 
 It makes me wonder, could at least a few blue dots actually be AI-bots undergoing simulation/training to prepare for PvE? If you were CCP how would you test your drone AI?

 You know this is so crazy - it might be true. It would explain the absolutely irrational behaviour of some randoms... shooting walls, running in circles, jumping on the spot...

 You know, there's something that's been bothering me.
 
 For the past few months, I've noticed something about the AI installations. It doesn't always happen, but there are times when I walk up to one that I know for a fact is not in use and I'll see this... suit standing there, mid-hack animation. Except it is always a Caldari's Assault suit. Always black. Always. Our hacking animation brings up the little arm doodad (to which I forgot what it's called), but this... suit doesn't have it. It's just standing there, arm up. When I bring my crosshair over it, it has no name. It has no health. It doesn't even show that I'm possibly targeting the installation. It's... a void. My crosshairs won't even register it as friend or foe, so I'm just staring at this void of a suit.
 
 The strange part about it all is simply... whenever I see that suit there, the installation will never miss its target. Never. I haven't seen it in a few weeks, but I've been avoiding installations. I don't want to see that black suit again. It's... unnatural.

 Interesting thread.
 
 I've always wondered whether there are actual bots running around sometimes. Maybe Scotty just can't find enough players and bots get thrown into a match? It would definitely explain some of the nonsensical, infuriating behaviour of the blue/redberries.
 
 We're through the looking glass people!

 Once I saw some blueberry, jumping in circles, while shooting.
 
 I've got to hand it to him though, it made him real difficult to hit from a distance.

 I could see these bots sitting their observing us and analyzing....
 
 "Oh...is this a form of evading fire [running backwards in circles]?" I seem to perform worse while doing it... Remove from list...
 
 "What are the proper conditions for hacking an objective...let's see...there seems to always be 5 friendly players around whenever I see a target successfully hacked, therefore, I shall wait for 5 players to show up before hacking...no...that doesn't seem to be related to success either..."
 
 "Hmm...I've observed players kneeling in the mountainside and they rarely die...I must investigate the effectiveness of this mountainside kneeling..."
