[2019] Emerging Conduit Bot Behavior

Over the weekend I have seen 5 different bots running Emerging Conduits and wanted pass on the common behaviors.

How do I know its a bot?

• Attacked the MTU, but did not kill it, completely ignored me (as in warped to the next conduit, dropped his MTU right beside me, even though I had been killing it a few min earlier).
• Attacked and killed the MTU, didn't react until after the conduit was closed, it did not loot the wrecks leaving 20+ mill of red loot behind.
• When the MTU was killed and the conduit was closed, rather than taking any action (warping to a station/gate/ scooping loot etc) it waited until the next conduit opened, than warped to a gate and left system (presumably to get a new MTU)
• They all have terrible target management, letting the highest DPS rats live way too long, all while active boosting like no tomorrow.
• They all warp in at 10km so if you are running the conduit they are able to drop their MTU
• Could it have been a player? I doubt it because of the following...I was able to warp several alts to the various conduits, aggress a Trig then back off (letting the bot kill everything) and split the bounty...not with just one char, or two, or three...i had people in local join in...no matter how many people came in, the bot continued on its merry way giving up virtually all the bounty...and still killing rats. I made it not at all worth doing, as in no player would spend 20 minutes (they are slow as crap doing them) running a conduit for sub 1 million isk payout...and not say anything in local.

Player solutions

• Report the bot
• Leech from the bot
• Warp in at 10km and drop your own MTU, not sure if the bot moves away or what happens...will try and update when the next one is around me.
• Kill its MTU (only recommend if you are willing to flag yourself, not something id recommend to anyone other than those who understand how high sec flagging rules/pvp work). Could easily bait people into thinking you are a bot and flag yourself...

All of the bots i saw this weekend and today, 100% were 2-4 days old, all flying active tanking rattles, all were in the Science and Trade Institute (STI) npc corp.
