  1. Hey there, I'd like to submit a bug report regarding the P.E.T. 10's AI protocol items.​
    A few of them seem to not work as intended or advertised.

    The first item is the Radar Protocol. It is supposed to extend your pet's radar and working range by 12%, and it does indeed extend it somewhat, but it's use is limited. The PET is capable of picking up items 12% further, but does not actually "See" or detect those items 12% further out. To demonstrate I have provided 2 screenshots:

    In the first image the PET can be seen laying dormant next to my ship. There are no items in my immediate vicinity for it to pick up. I currently have five level 3 radar protocols equipped.

    In the second image the PET can be seen retrieving a bonus box. The bonus box in question was well within range of the pet's working space, but did not detect it until I was right next to it. This makes the Range Protocols misleading and frustrating to make use of.


    The other AI protocol that is not functioning properly is the Fuel Protocol.​
    It is advertised that the level 3 fuel protocol saves 4% on fuel consumption for your PET, but because each Protocol adds 2 fuel consumption per minute the effect is essentially canceled out.
