A mine that would cause a duplicate jump point for plotted courses in sector. Once deployed for a time frame would cause random exit vectors in system if duplicate jump point is taken LOL

yes I am evil

It could just spoof the plotted jump point to a random sector LOL

TGFT's stupid autopilot plugins need to be messed up and this would do it.

Jen@arvig.net is on a streak with these ideas.

We have autopilot plugins in TGFT? I am so going to give council a good tongue lashing. I pay my quarterly dues after all. They have no right to be holding back something like that on me!!!!!

They have autobombing plugin... Surely you know about that one, fluffy.
Feb 02, 2017 Death Fluffy link
You mean the one in the public area? There is at least one other bombing plugin that I know of that was around long before avalons were a thing. I'd describe those as more speed control than auto piloting. I haven't tried that one specifically, but in my past experience you had to have all the variables in order before pressing 'go'. I didn't really like the last iteration I tried so haven't bothered with this one to be honest as I found it easier to manually time firing while also being able to avoid npc attacks.

No, I'm not talking about the infiniturbo plugin for queening. I'm talking about the multi-boxing-while-bombing-stations plugin.

Multitasking is not a plugin. That's a skill. Stop confusing things you don't have J-Boy.

I've done two sessions on the same system in the past when I played seriously. The most useful tool for that was a simple bind that allowed me to lock the input on a specific session allowing me to control the ship on the other without disrupting the path of the ship on my other session.

As to the Auto session bombing, I've heard the rumors. Seems a rather expensive way to take a station to me. If it's done, I expect it's probably done with existing bombing plugins through multiple sessions. I don't really see a need for a unique plugin to do something like this.

+1, except I think it would make more sense as a add-on instead.

Multitasking is not a plugin. That's a skill.

Let's get this straight. Tsreknor never leaves his trident because he sucks so terribly at piloting vults/cents/whatever (not that I'm making fun of him. I know what age can do to one's eye-hand coordination, and he's well into his golden years. Nothing wrong with being old), yet he is skilled enough to manually multitask rags across a few boxes simulanteously to conduct bombing runs on stations for a prolonged period of time?

Gimme a break. He IS using a fairly complex plugin written by Lisa to automatically launch and pilot bots.

Who gives a crap? I'm no TGFT supporter, but if it means so much to you, destroy the players in game. Forums will do nothing and never will. We all know this with experience.

Suggest removing launching via Lua so Ziggy stops padding his tiny PK count with Bewmys ECs in conq stations and tsreknor launches the bloody rags himself. Imagine if either of you had ANy fucking skill whatsoever.

I think jen@arvig.net will agree with me when I say, please get back on topic.

In case you didn't read carefully, everything I said was very much on topic, in solidarity and support of the OP. I +1'ed it, then explained why.

+1 Ore's idea, too
Feb 03, 2017 Death Fluffy link
Aren't there support tickets to address these player behavior concerns? This is just being used as a springboard to make negative remarks about certain players. Besides, it seems to me removing launching via Lua would effectively kill automated shops.

+1 - im not sure if mines or addons would be the way to dothis. I feel, as an addon, using default addon specs, then it would be kinda OPed. Perhaps if the addon had to be manually activated, and drained massive energy amounts until toggled off?
