Copbots

Ive tried to find out the current rules for Copbot behavior ( and havnt found any )

This is what happens in Neocron Via Rosso.

My faction is FA ( also happened to my Biotech character ), I enter zone with weapon drawn and Copbots starts shooting me and continue to shoot until I zone. No warning to drop weapon or anything. Same zone I stand in front of several copbots and in comes a Tangent player, draws weapon and start shooting. Copbots dont react to it unless I draw a weapon and then by the look of it fires only at me.

Soullight on both characters around 30ish.

Like what is going on? =)

Seems Neocron city area is much more dangerous nowadays than ever before.

Copbots will fire on runner with drawn weapons, although they take a short while to react. It's been that way since the last few patches.

Also Stealth Tools count as a weapon. Same thing happens in TH by the GR's.

The reason the weapon didnt draw on the tangent runner is because runners have developed the skill to reset the timer.

By either drawing the weapon in and out every few seconds.
Putting it away at set intervals.
Or running behind a wall every x seconds to block line of view.

Was the "slowness" of Copbots intentional or a bug? Currently most of the Neocron city zones are warzones P2 the most so and its abit annoying when one cannot even shop without being ganked.

Characters from N1 usually dont have LE chip anymore and they don't have cash/faction to recover losses of gear. ( would gladly put LE chip on for my PVE farming characters )

What are you trying to "Shop" for in P2 that you can;t buy elsewhere? There's a Yo's, melee etc. in P1 safezone itself. Tbh i avooid P2 as i can;t be arsed with it, go via P3 to PP :D

I don't do much in P2 ( except biotech first epic quest) but there are players that probably have their apartments there. However I visit Viarosso from time to time and I also get ganked there.
