NPC battlebots
I once tried the battlebots and found the system fascinating, original and
very different from the rest of the content in this MUD. An additional
interesting aspect of it is that one can be a battlebot hero without those
usual 5+ full boons and top-end eq. You can not get closer to Battletech here
without reincing to tinmen. I love the concept.
However, the battlebot system is a little difficult to get acquaintaned with
as one is always required to have an opposing team present to learn the
controls.
It is always easy to propose NPC variations of this and that, but battlebots
could really use some simple NPC opponents to challenge for practice and
perhaps little prizes. Nothing fancy... just enemies of varying toughness
moving around randomly and launching attacks. An occasional NPC challenger
with bigger reward once a month or so would really hit the spot.
The real battlebot awards should always come from PvP matches, though.

Ps. change those tiny advertising battlebots near the capital cities to be
real monsters one can actually kill

but I'll look into this as soon as I can. I can't promise a schedule or
a deadline, but this is a good idea and I will put this to my TODO-list.
And what comes to the advertising bots, why on earth would you ever want
to hurt those lovely defenseless tinmen
. I'll see if I get somethingdone to those also.
