Post Option to make sla... bots stand still and shoot
This has been suggested before, but I couldn't find a post to bump.

It would open up a lot more squad use for slav... bots if you could order them to stand ground, so they stay in one place and only fire if enemy is within range. Bots are fun, and would be even more fun if you had more control over then.

They sort of do this, but not in a very reliable way.

They stop, then thrust, then stop, then trust again and repeat XD.

Because they're building Snipe Analysis. A number of AI's also do this and try to sit in your ship's center rather than orbit around you. Very annoying for drone and missile and potentially fightergen users.

They are slaves. They always have been slaves. They always will be slaves. Please undo this attempt to police language in the name of pandering to political correctness and change Entertainers and Bots back to Crack Whores and Slaves, along with any others that were also changed which I cannot remember.
