Weird A.I.-like Teammates Encounter

So for 4 straight games, I’ve been paired with teammates who seem... off. They stick with me all game, never tire, and their behavior is weirdly robotic.

Here’s what’s happening: they’re always stationary in the ship, chilling in very specific spots like they’re programmed to stay there. It feels like they’re running on a script because after every match ends, they go back to the exact same spots and just... exist. No communication, no reactions, just doing their thing. They also wait for me to choose a mission, almost like they’re programmed to follow my lead rather than initiating anything themselves.

On the other hand, they still act like real teammates sometimes, like choosing different stratagems, going off on their own to accomplish side objectives, and their movements or approach to certain tasks feel random. It’s throwing me off because they have this weird mix of robotic consistency but also moments that seem... human.

Is this part of the game’s Dungeon Master feature? Like, are the devs deploying these weird “players” to watch our gameplay and tweak the experience? Or are these some kind of stealthy bots meant to fill gaps in matches? It’s seriously giving me the creeps.

Anyone else encounter this? Or am I just overthinking?
