Was the Swarm expedition deliberately predicting the current bot situation? :P

The Swarm expedition was both a test for a competition in NMS (the 3 sides competing for that trophy) *and* an introduction to the concept of a swarm of smaller, dumber sentinels infesting the NMS space...

Was HG actually anticipating the current competition in the Cosmos update causing swarms of RL bot account eating up the galaxy?

EDIT: removed a redundant "swarms" lol
