AX Pilots will spawn in a random name with a team, and will attack Thargoids if they warp in because they are AX Pilots and they want to hunt Xenos. If one are wait for Thargoids enough, they will broadcast messages about their crave of Xeno Hunting. It can be normal, traditional messages, it can be also stern messages.  


If AX Pilots are being shoot by a player, they will turn hostlie to that player and starts attacking. Their weapons are very strong, enough for a ship with experimental weapons, [[Shield Generator|shield]] upgrades and hull upgrades to be taken down easily.
