And yet in station transfers were deemed to be bad since they were too safe ....

Oh well guess I will just have to do it myself.

Actually, as I recall... only a minority of folk were against in station transfers, as there was still all of space to catch the sneaky lil traders in.

None of which however, has anything to do with your transparent attempt to make a tradebot.

Even if PaK didn't want to make a trade bot and they put this change through I would make a trade bot for shits and giggles.

If there was a DockMyAss function I would build a trade bot in a matter of moments, just for fun. It wouldn't even be remotely difficult. I don't see a purpose for this function beyond botting. Or maybe people are too lazy/unskilled to dock their ship, but seeing how easy it is I'm going to stick with botting.

LOL. You necro'd a thread from 2013 for this? Also I don't think you understand how plugins work here. Someone's not just going to give out code to you so you can make a travel bot.

While any lua script could theoretically pilot a ship through wormholes, using vector approaches, but the ship controls for turning are broken. There is no way to steer or strafe your ship using pure lua.

Any external means of automation I seriously doubt sits well with the devs.

This is a twitch combat game. Stop being so lazy.

I doubt it's 'lazy' at this point so much as having a bit of an interest in seeing what he can create with lua.

"Hey pizzasgood can I have the link to ur travel BOT,?"

No. I made it for the fun of making it, not to use. Actually using it would be against the rules. Besides, it's currently nonfunctional anyway. (I started updating the algorithm it uses, but I never got around to finishing it.)
