Are AIMBOTS going to start popping up on Hawken now?

I usually give players the benefit of the doubt and I don't think I've ever called someone out as an aimbot user before but I have seen videos of people who use/advertise it and this player's movement is exactly like that of 3rd-party program users. I followed this guy around for 1 match just to satisfy my curiosity. The auto weapon never misses and no leading shots with TOWs. Even when the player is in mid-air, he's able to trail his weapons on you no matter what. I also don't think I've seen him miss a shot with a MIRV on his Raider. I also find it odd whenever his opponent goes behind cover, his aim is still directed at the opponent's movement -- even while dashing. That's what really convinced me.
Yes, there are some really good players out there and not all of them have been playing since Alpha/Closed Beta but it's quite fishy when you see a new player (lvl25) completely dominating the TDM full of Lv30 players. I'm far from being one of the best players out there but I know I can carry myself in a match most of the time. This new player's score soars around 900+ while the rest of the players are at 100~200 only (he did say it's his first account).
Hard to judge and hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the guy really has perfect aim and environment awareness but as of now, I'm almost 100% certain that he does use a third-party-program.
I hope hackers don't end up ruining this game for everyone else the way they have on other shooter/FPS games.

Also he had like 1000ish score in a match with mostly lvl 30 pilots and and the suspect and another guy that also seemed to be a friend was between lvl 10-20.

I had your same doubts sometimes.
But as long as they will not put an anti cheat monitor we can just watch those kind of players.
Fortunately they are not so much and most matches are "clean"!

So I guess with such attitude the only thing that protects as from abundance of cheaters is low popularity of this game.

 I feel it's not an big issue yet, but I've bumped into a aimbotter twice on this game and watched on Saturnine's stream one botter in action.

Pathetic and destroying everyone's enjoy of challenge. Have a good day everyone. See you @ the battlegrounds!

the guy was landing 100% Slug shots during the most intense face-to-face CQB vs Scouts and Infiltrators
after watching him fight others it's obvious that some sort of auto-tracking thing was being used as his aim locked on and never drifted even during the most frenetic bunny-hopping CQB and you can see his aim tracking stuff even when it's not visible
also whilst watching in killcam his every shot lands dead center without any drift at all
in addition so far I've not seen the guy use TOW or GL because of course those weapons don't benefit from aimbotting
I have growing suspicions about a couple of others as well
there are definitely cheats out there with live accounts
what's the standard procedure for reporting suspected cheats?
I can't record vids and screenshots don't help

Rest assured, this is all going completely according to plan."

the only way I can get videos of the guy I was talking about is to ask other people who can record to shadow him but if I can't name the account how is that going to happen?
~fortunately~ the level up grind in this game is so @rse-tighteningly slow* that if a cheater gets his level 20+ cheat account banned he might be put off going through all that again
* 36 hours in and still less than half the XP needed to reach 30

As I said, Im not trying to alarm everybody; most players out there (The ones I play with regularly) are just good players (Please nerf!), I just want the game to be fair for everybody.

You can name names in a support ticket where you can describe the type of behavior. You don't need to have video but it's much more helpful

I saw this last night. I was on Lost Eco and I was sneaking around to get behind the enemy team, you know, to watch them repair in hiding
 Anyway, this guy not only sees me behind some trees and a rock, but he shot a Corsair shot at me. It missed, so I was still cloaked, I walked back and around a wall with a tunnel and watched him walking around the opposite side, watching me.. I called him on it then he seemed to have either shut if off or pretended he couldn't see me anymore. I think the latter because I saw him look at me while I was cloaked a couple times then look away.
