1.2.3

Update 1.2.2 – The Space Gets Crowded

The AI ships no longer stay out of each other's way. Bots and pirates are now enemies, and the battlefield is a lot more alive because of it.

Bots and pirates now fight each other. Pirates hunt down bots just like they hunt players, and bots fight back.
The pirate boss and its turrets also target bots, and bots will join the fight against the boss.
Each bot keeps its personality: aggressive bots go looking for trouble, neutral bots only defend themselves, and passive bots run away from pirates too.
Bots earn score for their kills, so they can climb the leaderboard. If a bot takes down the boss, everyone will know.
Use it to your advantage: let them wear each other down, then pick up what's left.

When they're not fighting, bots go after nearby scrap. Watch out, they'll compete with you for it!
Bots level up the same way you do (up to level 10) and gain a random upgrade each time: more health, faster fire rate, a faster engine or more damage.
A high-level bot is a real threat, but it's also worth more points and drops the scrap it was carrying when destroyed.

Fewer unnecessary requests to the online leaderboard service when starting the game.
General stability improvements.
