The bots stuck on the gate, you can try invite them also. They usually accept. Then you can warp fleet and take them to a secluded area of space (where there are no gate guns) and blow them up 😂
Have fun. Just be careful and wait out your timer after each bot kill. If you just blew up a bot inside a mission.. and there’s a broken bot sitting on the gate, inviting them to fleet and warping to the gate will inevitably trigger a ship loss for you
I've been doing this for a week now in my Condor Interceptor and I've killed dozens! Works great. The only part that sucks is waiting out your criminal timer. I spend that time jumping the belts looking for miners lol
so far, I've been in Placid region and in Genesis region. Both regions on the map are mostly low-sec systems. When I roam, I see 1-5 bots every 2 systems. The bots are farming Story missions. They are farming normal encounters. from the Advanced category (max NPC spawn = cruisers)
Ahhh this explains why, when I am running encounters in 0.4 space I keep getting spammed with fleet invites.. I just assumed it was griefers trying to trick me into combat..
Correction. For vexor navy issues pvp. Even with 2 interruptive warp you won’t be able to solo tackle retreiver or venture 3 At all. For example my retreiver I had +13 in warp stability (if. I’m using 3x aura ) or (+9 warp stability when I’m using 2x aura + 1 DCU.).(not including warp core optimizer rigs) Also if any one is in taff or ualkin give me a shout I will help in bot hunt. Player I’d - alter ego. Edit1. As of right now. Bot won't accept your invite at all.
Ya, I was doing same for past few weeks they accept invite and I kill them. Once I found a CNI bot with good fit he had a c type shield booster i know they are cheap now but you rarely find a bot like that. But now they got updated and don't accept invite anymore. Some may accept even now but most of them don't.
@@GicaForta Then we can farm these bots better and no one will be safe. And with the new updates coming in the future like sov, Scanners, exploration etc can you make a video explaining these things for people who have never played EO it will be helpful to understand that and we can already prepare for them.
haha a yeah. They're hunting the same things :D aside from the fact you can test out your DPS against ... basically "dummy targets", you also get some nice story loot. All of them are fitted with high/med/low story modules
How do I find these bots, and can I take them out in a frigate? I've been killing miners quite often, but not sure which ones are bots. Been bagging them mostly in ventures in lowsec.

@@GicaForta The increase in payouts, combined with the immunity to pvp within the encounter, has mad it more profitable than mining. Mining is open to pvp. That's why the number of miners has drastically decreased. I'm usually in the forge or lonetrek, and miners and anom runners have been scarce. Everyone's running encounters to avoid pvp. We need scans!
The most encounter bots I have found have Chinese/Japanese characters and no at last like 5,12 ,3 etc and check their corp also the corp tax would be 98-100%.
They have about half the tracking they do in Eve Online but they hit very hard if you can slow the target down so they can apply. For PvE I have found the heavy drones to be overall the better choice.

Amazing. I didn't know EE's bot culture now stretches to PvE. I have some dark suspicions that botting will never be eliminated. By extension, maybe we should be preparing for the day when the majority of players are bots. Perhaps in a way that shouldn't be so surprising. After all most entities in the game are already NPCs....
on android mod/script sub-sites, there have been bots for mining and encounters since the game has been out. I don't think its ever going to go away because they charge about as much as eve echoes does so it seems pretty lucrative to keep improving them.
@@GicaForta as a noob to pvp in low sec, how do you deal with the crime timer? just wait it out at a planet or do you just try to find another bot and risk warping to station?
I wait. Better safe than sorry. I usually wait in the mission site after I blap them... it does not show up on overview to others, safer than being at a celestial
For using bots to farm? Yes. For killing bots? no! Ans I highly encourage everyone to blow up as many bots as possible. Fuck that shit.. bots are like a plague to the entire community
Low battery used to be this channel’s theme when I used to film CCGs. Every video had a low battery pop-up somewhere 😂 with echoes tho, that’s a tad dangerous since it eats battery like crazy
Also, I had no idea that bots would auto-accept invites. I'm going to try this later. Thanks for the tip!

Haha. That’s evil. I like it
Nice, now I see how you where getting on doing this. Makes me want to jump in a hound and join the fun.
Well, Placid is full of’em... 4-5 bots in every system
Nice! Slappin them cheek good!
Yeah I did this and I was doing well until I warped into a 21 day old account doing disaster relief in a cynabal.
@@Kennclarete how is it possible? Even if he/she do own cynabal, I guarantee that he have minimal skills on the ship
@@crazycats08 yeah. That’s why he died. Because he didn’t have enough skills. Maybe just rich
Oh yeah I didn’t mention. I watched him get killed by rats. Then his pod just stayed there in the anom and said he’s thinking about life.
Question is, where do I find the Bot Farms? Is there a list of stoy mission systems? (are those always the same?)

@@GicaForta That explains all the system with 15 people in them I can't find anywhere ;) Will try to randomly fleet people then.
Look for characters with numbers at the end of name. Sitting in corporations with 100% tax. Corporation names id also random gibberish
@@GicaForta can confirm, works great. Got six in under an hour. But the XIAX corp bots fight back, I'll need something bigger then the hound :)
Hello Vexor my old friend
I’ve come to talk to you again :)
Ahhh this explains why, when I am running encounters in 0.4 space I keep getting spammed with fleet invites.. I just assumed it was griefers trying to trick me into combat..
Some may do that, while some are just testing for bots to blap them 😜
I am trying this and the bots are rejecting my requests, does this no longer work?
Some bots have upgraded.. we found a flaw.. we disrupted their operations.. so they updated 😂😂
Correction.
For vexor navy issues pvp.

Edit1. As of right now. Bot won't accept your invite at all.
I have a similar fitted one. I use medium autocannons in the highs though and my medium has a web instead of nos to help blap frigates.
A good variance as well. But be careful, 1 web is usually not enough. Vs a frig pilot who knows what he’s doing, you’ll need dual webs
Ya, I was doing same for past few weeks they accept invite and I kill them.

Certainly. It’s something I have in my to do list.
Armor plating will scare off your enemies, done that to my omen when i got jumped by a breacher assault
Nice. Now i know why last week i got invite from Sovereign Wolf Pack. In low sec.
haha a yeah. They're hunting the same things :D aside from the fact you can test out your DPS against ... basically "dummy targets", you also get some nice story loot. All of them are fitted with high/med/low story modules
@GicaForta Do you have any rigs on this setup? You didn't mention any.
Oh yeah. Just some shitty prototype free rigs. 1 ccc, 1 cap size, 1 drone dmg, 1 drone rate of fire

Yes we need scanning equipment
You know what would be nice? a website that players can report locations of botting so players can slaughter them more lol
Any system in Placid / Genesis regions. 1-5 bots each system
Nice. Looks like something I should try too. How do you know who is a bot and not a player?
Name, how old is the character, and usually they have only 1 randon corp joined
The most encounter bots I have found have Chinese/Japanese characters and no at last like 5,12 ,3 etc and check their corp also the corp tax would be 98-100%.
have you used sentry drones on a rattlesnake yet? i need to knooooow
They have about half the tracking they do in Eve Online but they hit very hard if you can slow the target down so they can apply. For PvE I have found the heavy drones to be overall the better choice.
I don’t have a rattlesnake yet. Pockets are empty cuz’ .. 🥲 but I am training them heavy drones as we speak
Spreading your damage types around also renders reactive armor and shield hardeners nearly useless.
Yup. Against pve ships using those, yes. Damage spread is perfect
I found a group of mining/encounter farming bots yesterday around amar
If it’s lowsec, send them a fleet invite and pay them a visit 😂.

@@GicaForta way ahead of you lol on my 4th kill.
Good riddance! Haha. Well played. Just be careful not to warp to a gate / station with the aggression timer still going
You guys JUST figured out about the [JUNE] bots? They have been there for over a month now
Tell us more please
@@GicaForta bunch of mining bots in Harroule, always in venture trainers and there are entire armies of them, Harroule being a system next to Ost
Is it lowsec? If yes, we should pay them a visit 😅
@@GicaForta you bet it is
Why not an armor plate?
I explained in the video. Pvp Solo vs Many, active tank works better. You usually wear plates if you’re in a fleet / small group
@@GicaForta yeah I commented before I got the explanation 😂
How do I know if they are a bot
Character name. When it was made, corporation it’s in, corporation tax

True :( but I want to believe every little bit of effort from the community helps make our game cleaner
@@GicaForta you are right, where is the best place to hunt bots? or is there a certain region that is more popular for this type of search?
Right now, me and Sov are hunting in Placid. It’s mostly lowsec, every system has around 5-6 bots

Great video. Too bad that they fixed their script to not accept fleet invite anymore, I wish I could kill some of them.
True. They also started changing their names. No more chinese names. But you can stilll detect them if you look closely
