So the bot doesn't follow a path or anything like that. It looks for pixels of the enemy ships and moves the mouse to them as its shooting. Its not super smart targeting more like a shotgun approach. The only scripted events are in the parts where the ship needs to dodge something.
You could go in and change what the mission is looking for. For example on some mission it was only looking for the yellow rings that were part of the space station. If someone went into the code they could also add parts to look for the enemy ships tails when there are no yellow rings around. This would get the 60 ships shot down however it could compromise completing the main mission.
I believe as things get more stable and all the missions are programmed people will go back and try to improve them.
