Executive Summary: You know how when you shoot a BAF critter and the critter itself doesn't aggro on you but all of his nearby pals aggro on you instantly?

That's going away.

According to the Dev responsible for MOB AI, BAF critters have been fixed to not aggro on you until the critter you're shooting aggros on you. So you'll be able to get off a few shots before the entire pack rushes you. And if you kill the critter before then, his pals won't bother you.

This will make it a LOT easier to hunt low-level BAF critters (spineflaps, corellian butterflies, gurrcats, Krevols, etc), especially for Riflemen.

Butterfiles swarm? Been killing tons and tons for 3k missions, never noticed they BAF'd. Grondas do, Hambabas do, butterlfies usually don't, unless ya hit a scout.

Just a point. ^

Yeah.

Drones and "a corellian butterfly" don't. Workers, warriors, defenders, and monarchs do.

Also, stuff that swarms won't swarm if you insta-kill something. You can kill BAF MOBs all day long as long as you never miss and you kill with one shot. I've cleared out dalyrake lairs that way before.

Yes... I noticed that while beating up mamien youths... If I kill them in one hit, their parents don't notice.

Very coolbehavior indeed.

That's just plain, out right bad parenting. It's bad enough they let 'em skip school, but for them to die and not even notice.....how sad.
