Here's the first question:

Q: When I Host a game (play on my own server), it takes several seconds before I can move the cursor to select my team.
A: Thats the time the server needs to create and set up the bots.
the more bots you set the longer it takes. (up to 20 secs. is normal)

Q: What is "Bot Replacement"?
A: That means a bot will be removed each time a real player joins the game. Removal is team specific depending on the team the player joins.

Q: I set the game for 8 bots but there are only 4 on each team?
A: Right! The number you set is the total number of bots created, and they are split up evenly between the 2 teams. (always use an even number)
The only exception to this is the Botmatch game: there the no. you set is the maximum number of bot opponents per real player.

Q: How do you change the ship types that are used by bots?
A: You need to change the name of the bots ships ini file in the corresponding package for the game you are playing. The package files are in StarWarsA1/multiplayer/packages.
After you have changed the file name, you need to run the batch file to activate the mod. If it is already activated select "update" so the files in the EOC directories will be updated to reflect your change.
Note: this option is only avaliable to server hosts.
