I'm sure you guys are working on improving the AI and rolling it out to groups other than Sleepers and Sansha.

You've probably got a plan, but, I'd like to make a suggestion, despite the fact that stating something like that in a open forum kills the chances of implementation of the idea at birth.

If you accept the premise that Rogue Drones are able to infest a battle stricken Nightmare and adapt Sansha tech, you have a progression that makes absolute sense in relation to in game lore.

A new breed of fear inspiring Rogue Drones that are bold enough to disable sentries and actively attack NPC stations would shake up the status quo for a while.

I personally would take a storyline approach involving the Capualeer Community and measure mission successes to a new set of Rogue Drone related Story Line missions to direct where the tech goes next.

It would not be such a great leap for Sleepers to interface with Sansha enhanced Rouge Drones and start a whole new round of tech advances for everyone and neatly tie in with the CSM suggestion of Sleepers getting a taste for wormhole POSs

Just a thought.

why would they do it ?

Rogue drones as perfect AIs dont have "reason" to do it..

Actually perfect AI will probably commit suicide, because they will not need to expand, adapt, advance, they are perfect afterall.

They want live in "peace" without any intrusion.

the AI thinks it's perfect but its flaw is it arrogance and will thus conclude that non-perfection must be eliminated?

Sure they want to live in peace like a little single parent family family of care bears farming their unique mineral compositions as they have tired to do for generations. The trouble is that pesky human Capsuleers keep coming over and kicking in their sandcastles without a thought to their level of sentience.

So some low level drone finds a burned out nightmare wrek and calles mommy over. Mommy goes, ah tasty new tech for my babies. next thing you know the bugs have real bite and the means to kick in human sandcastles.

Shansa tech means they don't need to spend so much time harvesting minerals (no more drone poo). They become a very real menace to NPC stations. CONCORD is forced to re-asses their threat level, and institute bounties on their eradication. - Also a CSM suggestion.

Actually, I just like the thought of them infesting gate guns and station sentries.
I'd love to see them giving grief to the scum and villainy that loiters outside Dodixie Fed Navy Station.
