Idea for Bot detection

It's frustrating how many bots there are. So I had an idea that might be useful for bot detection. If bots move randomly, then there average velocity should be zero. And this should also be true for time frames shorter active good players who just happen to return to starting position (a false positive). Maybe behavior can use this fact about statistics to create an algorithm that automatically detects for bots.

    A server side check should be easily possible to detect all kinds of cheating, but BHVR is either unwilling to do it or there is some kind of technical reason why they can’t do it. Either way, this has been a problem for a long time and it’s still not getting addressed.
