    the pet is just that ... a pet.

    Have you ever know a pet to do what it's owner wants it to do, do exactly what it was supposed to do?
    The name should have given it away from the start...

    It was never going to behave like the owner thought hoped or wished
    ;)
    still ya never know if it gets to level 50, it might just do what you want ;(

    What level is your AutoLooter on your P.E.T.? Also how many Radar Protocols do you have? This can affect the range that your P.E.T. will travel from your ship.

    Best regards,

    Please check to make sure that when you are wanting your pet to collect it is on Auto looter... Then make sure that you have cleared your cargo. As once your cargo bay is full the pet will no longer collect boxes.



    I hope that this helps to answer your issue.
    Please have a nice day and enjoy your game.

    Please try this, you stop collecting boxes... and go about shooting npc's and see if the your PET goes on about its business collecting. As I think what you are experiencing is the pet is attempting to collect, but since you are also collecting it stays relatively close therefore appears it is not doing the job properly.

    I know this probably isn't the answer you want, but hopefully it will be of some help.
    Have a nice day.

    As has been mentioned in many threads on this forum the autolooter gear creates pet failure ever since they "improved it's behavior"

    Jules, your pet is malfunctioning the same way as all other pets when trying to collect boxes. It is constantly changing it's mind about which box to go for and seems more content to fly back and forth often completely ignoring boxes right in front of it.

    Simple fix for them to make it collect the nearest box available and work in a similar fashion to the autoresource collector gear, maybe even make it a little more advanced by introducing additional options to prioritise/ignore bonus boxes or cargo.

    ASTRAEA, your suggestion doesn't really help for people that are collecting in battle maps or just cloaked in normal maps trying to box. Perhaps the numerous feedback regarding the issues with the autolooter could find their way back to the devs for them to look into fixing.

    Jules, try flying far away from your pet once it is going for a box... Fly past many boxes and then start collecting. Once the pet is off the screen it tends to get on with things properly again, as far as I can tell. Who knows what the dam thing is up to when you can't see it but it seems to be collecting many things I can't actually collect due to ammo cap when I've tried that ;)

    The best thing I can do at this point is pass this on for further investigation. Hopefully they will be able to see that the PET is reacting in an abnormal manner and resolve this.

    Lets just hope they don't offer a PET training module.

    As always we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
    Have a lovely day

  12. Ok Who i will try and do as you suggested but you are right about the battle maps as that is where i do my box collecting so my pet isnt goin for cargo just boxes which are already close by me.
    In palla my pet can go far away from me with no problem,,, just seems its autolooter for boxes which is the problem :( xx
