Extra Passives not on Original Ships in PVP Arena

 

 

These screens are from PVP Arena matches.

 

Does anyone know where these extra passives that are not on the Original Ships are coming from? Its the following passives 10% hull/shield strength and 10% Kinetic, EM, and Thermal damage.

These bonuses are because the ships are from “bots”. They are temporary “players” that are added to PvP till the match maker fills the game via mid-join or till the game ends.

It doesn’t look like their bots. For example, the player KaBaT33 [AoWR] is from the corporation Art of WAR. His ship is the Kalah a “premium” ship.

Bots often use the names of real player accounts as an attempt to hide that they are bots - the ship bonuses and how they move and react in game are always a dead giveaway that they are bots.

There isn’t any official documentation and I’m not entirely sure the wiki is 100% up to date. It’s simply something that players can observe over time as more often than not you’ll recognise a name a bot is using if you’ve played for several years.

Bots are clearly marked as bots in the game.log file. Also in the Combat Log chat tab they do have names that are not links (you can click on the to get the profile).

 

With these information you can notice that all ships that have these buffs belong to bots.

Thanks for the insight guys, really appreciated. I checked the game logs and even though it doesn’t say bots you can tell the bots from the real players because the bots don’t have ID numbers beside their name while real players have ID numbers beside their name. Bots only have one zero beside their name. I believe this is how you can tell they are bots. regards
