Exuberant RES Cops

I do a bit of RES bounty hunting, and like a few other commanders who have posted here, I see swarms of little AI cop ships that buzz around, get in your way and start attacking the big-game before I can. This can be frustrating because the targets seem to focus on whoever first attacked them, so while I may be hitting the Anaconda's power plant with my cannon, he is busy trying to swat a cop Eagle or Sidewinder and almost ignoring me - which takes away some of the fun and challenge.


Having said that, I have grown fond of these little swarms of AI as they buzz around fearlessly, diving on any wanted target and organizing themselves about as well as a football (soccer) team of 6 year old kids. And it seems (like 6 years olds) they can get bored quickly and start squabbling with each other. And even when your radar doesn't show it, if you see them buzzing off somewhere in a group, chances are there will be a Anaconda or Python they can light up for you.


I think I read on this board that their current behavior (and numbers) are going to be changed in future updates, and it is a good thing in the main, but I will miss their exuberant antics.
