    How about a new selection bar, similar to the one added when you are premium. This bar does away with the overhead icon and works all P.E.T. functions. Activate, Guard, Loot, etc with quick punch of keyboard or mouse click.
     
  2. I would accept the ability to add these to the Quick Bar but not a completely new BAR. Premium already has 30+ different keyboard actions to assist in killing the WEAK Players we don't need to add the 6 PET actions to it too.

    I would like to have my Auto Looter, Kami, and Resource collector at the ready but again not at the addition of more shortcut key strokes.

    It's a personal preference though, I personally want a keybind for the P.E.T gears. Takes a lot of time and interrupts ship movement when you need to press things on mouse.
     
  4. We are in agreement BUT I do not think the entire selection should be quick keyed as the OP is requesting.
     
  5. Hi All,

    Let make it simple. If you have the Gear or Protocol on your P.E.T. it should be able to do it automatically. If not at least a select few the ones you use most of the time. Maybe DO could make a New Gear or Protocol that would automatic run a few of them.

    Hey OD money making idea.

    The problem I see with that is who decides what it's doing you or auto-select? Also is what it's auto-doing what you want or need at the moment?

    Hey might not be such a big seller.
     
  7. NO they get enough of my hard work I will not PAY for something that should have been able to be added the the Quick Keys anyway. They allow us to deploy and return it with the keyboard why not make it useful with the keyboard? Again NOT an automatic ALL items but be added to the slots of the quick bars.

    You contradict yourself. You state you would like to have something at the ready, as I am asking for, but somehow believe that possible without touching anything. Good Luck!
     
  9. I said I supported the idea but NOT a completely NEW BAR, being able to add them to the EXISTING is not giving us another BAR to select from. I did say the "addition of MORE shortcut key strokes" you have 30+ already we do not need more of them just the ability to assign some PET items to them.

    Personally I only wish to see something. Hopefully better than now designed. To argue the exact procedure used can be left to those with a lot of HOT AIR they feel need to rid themselves of!

  11. Hi All,

    What I was talking about, the new Gear or Protocol would have several slots in it like on the ship's Gear and Protocol. For it to work if first has to be on the P.E.T. Then the new card would be added. This slot would be activate to the ones that were in your slots. It could be called Active Mode (one card for each Gear and Protocol). The Active Mode would control (let say) Auto Loot and Guardian or what ever you wanted active at the time. Then P.E.T. could pick up loot and fight at the same time. With my ship I fight and pick up loot at the same time. Why not let my P.E.T. do the same.

  12. I'd like that.
    But as HelpMeHelpYou mentioned, not as a fourth hotbar, but the option to place PET functions into the existing hotbar(s).
    Hey, DO already has the image assets they use inside the Store > P.E.T./Gear, they would work just fine in the game map.

    +1 from me

    You'll have to create a new thread for that.
     
  13. Hi All,

    Well I don't know much about computer, and programing forget it. I like it done and for me to enjoy. I do get ideas and hope others can make it work. Snuffout started this and I just wanted to add my 2 cents into the mix. I like my P.E.T. and I use it a lot. I wish it could do more tasks at one time. It is hard change modes especially when in a conflict. That is why I thought of dual mode card for my P.E.T..

    As for a hotbar, I use it, but only the first 5 keys. My right hand has the mouse and my left hand is on the 1-4 keys and #5 I move my finger over for it. If Q, W, E, R, & T could be used too, that might work. Then I only have to drop my fingers down to activate something.

    I even asked one time if there was a game controller for this game. Like X-Box, which I don't own. All the game I have and play are PC game. I do own an old Atari, and it is at the ready. I haven't play in years on it though.

    Why can't the right click on the mouse be used for something?

  14. I believe you can assign what buttons the 1-0 hotbar follows in the settings, they're just 1-0 by default. As for the right click, it's because it's a browser game. If the game had its own client, the right click would have a usable function.
     
  15. Hi Kiler,

    Thank you for the info.
