Having distinctive AI avatars should make it easier to keep track of which bots impact rank points and which do not.

• The original post should say avatar (not aviator).

We already have that. If there is any special symbol on the bot it no longer effects rank, if there is nothing it does.

Interesting.  I was not aware of that.  What does the symbol look like?  It would probably still make sense to have something very obvious.  Perhaps the avatar that replaces a human looks more like a human – android/style robot.

Avatar is probably not the correct term.  I’m really referring to the little robot icon that displays below the avatar when it is an AI player.  Seems like there could be one version for AI players that impact skill points, and one version for AI players that do not.

Ai players that leave the game after pressing ready count, and have no symbol at all. Just the message "I'm offline right now" when you click on them.

Yeah the bot symbol just shows up for 'wont impact' I'm pretty sure

[alpine oasis]

The only problem with that is, that it's not explained anywhere in the game

Yep - the introduction of tutorials that cover basics is good, I think we'll end up with tutorials on everything gradually. Things like clicking through settings isn't written anywhere either but is extremely useful
