[UI] New P.E.T. gear

Two new combo gear.
1- Auto-looter/ guard mode
2-Auto-resource/guard mode
The idea is to have the P.E.T. switch automatically . When you start shooting it initiates guard mode and after five seconds of ending attack it will switch back to auto mode

 

That is a good idea, I been thinking of an attack protocol that allows the pet to attack a secondary target other than the one you are shooting.

 

its not really an idea more of a change to the way it is now but the only down side i can see to this is pet can be far away from the pilot so it would have to run back to you and u may be dead by then but its a nice change 1+

 

the best idea ive seen from you in months. +1 too

 

Lol, sounds good.
But I usually have it collecting things in the background while I shoot things down xD

Now that's a good idea mate

 

Thank you for taking the time to add this to the update and idea area.

I have added this to the index, and we will watch this thread further to see the communities response.
Have a nice day

I also have considered a secondary attack protocol but , with the PET's low hit rate I dismissed it as an idea that wouldn't fly.
Like most people I also have the PET collecting in the background while I hunt NPC's . Yet when I need it in guard mode it will still be however far it is when I manually switch over. This idea would make the transition more fluid and frees up the pilot to concentrate on an impending attacker and have one less key to click on .
I am happy to see some positive feedback and I would like to thank Team DO (ASTRAEA) for allowing this thread to evolve

 

not a bad idea, ive always wished that you could pick to have your pet auto loot cargo or bonus boxes, or both. i personally hate when the pet fill my cargo then doesnt do anything lol. but DO dont care bout its customers. just a waste to give "ideas"

 

Currently, I noticed the PET doesn't collect under Auto-looter if you are shootin' down NPCs...it is either, not and/or. +1

 

I hate to say it but I am thinking you would always be in guard mode.

 

It would not be fair to say that DO developers do not listen to its customers. I may be wrong but , I think I was the first one to suggest an EMP burst to uncloak ships and or break lock ons. I have noticed that ideas are better received when thought through well.
Do not forget , this is still a business and any ideas have to have the potential to make MONEY. Thats why they do what they do.

My PET sometimes seems retarded. It will fly right by one bonus box and grab another that was further away.I guess it may have to do with lag or something. Not sure.
Bottom line is , the PET has potential to become an even more valuable asset if it is allowed to evolve with the game.

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
