Summary0012720: Sensor Range and Hunter Bot
DescriptionOne pet peeve I have is that the Hunter Bot benefits from the player's +Sensor Range equipment. On most missions, this isn't that much of an issue. On Hostage Rescue missions, it's ridiculous.

I think that either the HunterBot should not be permitted to spawn on Hostage Rescue missions, or her passive changed so that she is alerted at 1.5x - 2x the normal range of bots.

Opinions are, of course, welcome.

Chris, what do you think should be done here?

The hunterbots notice the sensor pass, so changing that would I think be detrimental. However, there is a good solution to the core problem here:

* HunterBots and MurderBots are now single-mindedly targeting players, rather than getting distracted with things like sentry turrets, cryo pods, or whatever else.
** This has the added benefit of making it so that the +sensor range buffs do not cause hunter bots in hostage rescue missions to be somewhat impossible.

Thanks!
