I think it's a good idea & keeping them in 1:1 removes the potentially messy element of giving each gal their own bots or even whole bot galaxies.
So the fact that they give them very easy targets that wont build def against their attacks, nor get defense from anywhere else prepares them for real pa? Especially when they don't know they're automated bots and the rest of the universe is filled with people that actually play?

So, the new player basically learns that he don't need to get jpscans, because they will never get defended, he does not have to worry about the target building ships.

Then he attacks a New Dawn planet, or an Urwin planet. Wonder if they'll be as nice?


Some people seem to be totally up PA teams ass and cant see the disadvantages about having automated bot planets in the game. The intent might be good, but the execution sucks.
