I agree; IMO, bot fighters should simply not require crew to pilot, and
always get HG fighter bonus, whether or not there is one. Along that
line of thinking, Bot ships shouldn't require crews (though a garrison
of troops would be realistic, to board or repel boarders), and "kill"
damage ratings for weapons should have no effect on them. They should
not be captured due to 0 crew; in contrast, control system damage could
have equivalent effect-once the control systems are disabled, the ship
could be captured and repaired.
