[UI] PET AUTO LOOTER

Okay so, i've been a darkorbit user for quite some time now. I noticed the change in Game Mechanics over the years and I clearly understand the actions taken by some of them. Yet this certain step towards creating a "better" experience in-game I really do not see.
So I got my PET out and got a leonav all set for some npcing/boxing. Swell time I was having shooting those new 3d npcs (Good job guys!) and they just dropped loads of cargo boxes. And as usual, AS USUAL (over the years I have played), I allowed the pet auto collect to collect the cargo boxes till my storage was full, this way it will ignore other cargo boxes and go directly for bonus boxes. How do I know this? I've been playing for years. Yet there seems to be one problem now. After I collect cargo boxes till my storage is full, my pet will go idle and not collect bonus boxes. So thinking this is a bug, I was about to post in forums about what this problem was. Luckily, I already saw a post with a person who had the same issue. From that post I learned this:

"The PET will not collect cargo or bonus boxes is the ships cargo bay (not bonus box bay) is full. This is intened this way and is not a game glitch and or bug" - Board Administrator Astraea

Yet, clearly, the person who had posted the issue said that once the cargo boxes have gone or he moved to a new location, he is allowed to collect bonus boxes once more with Pet.

Now, point being, this has never ever been the case before. We have never faced an issue like this. Why do you ask? Because what the moderator has said is false.

BONUS BOXES ARE COLLECTED EVEN AFTER THE CARGO BAY IS FULL. WHY? BECAUSE BONUS BOXES DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS A CARGO BAYS MAX CAPACITY. ( Had to put this in caps for people to see)

If you have updated it to be so that bonus boxes aren't collected after full cargo bays. Then this is a bug which hasn't been solved.

Now for the argument. Why is this update even allowed?
We all know that players have spent years doing "boxing" and gaining spins for gg so that they can do galaxy gates. So my question is why add such a stupid rule to such a normal thing? We all grind for our credits and uridium, spending countless hours just improving ourselfs. Yet darkorbit seems biased enough to say that we cannot have this ability to the full extent anymore?
So lets see the disadvantages first:
- Palladium is a new source for collecting gg spins. Great improvement this was, but there's a problem here. Now I generally play in the server Global America 3. In that server, the entire palladium field is controlled and governed by one company. EIC. Now I don't how exactly it is on other servers but what you have to now know is that. A NEWBIE will never be able to collect PALLADIUM on an entire server even after he or she has gained enough to pass through all the pirates. This, if they choose vru or mmo. Do you understand what that does to players? It makes them leave, and already, I have seen MUCH less activity in every server i go to. ( I can literally park my ship on enemy home maps for days and not be destroyed)

- Loss of npcing/boxing experience. After this so-called "Update", an entire strategy which involved killing npcs and boxing at the same time has just gone, poof. So from now on, people can just forget about buying a pet for that purpose, because that entire purpose just went away. Now what does this do?
I'm a new player named Bobbyx45, I join a company, I start playing. I spend my money on a pet. I buy an auto collector. I go to npc/box. I realize my pet stopped collecting. I get frustrated and leave this game. < That's what it does.
I left Darkorbit for some time as well, yet i come back only because this game still has good features which excite me and which im willing to pay for. But since now, the fun of actually playing the game is lost with my inability to understand why i can't collect sweet bonus boxes, how can I? Do I cloak and go in a map running around, trying to collect as much as I can? Forgetting that there is a whole world of fighting on the other side? Or do i npc without a pet and lose part of my gaming experience? You lose both ways.

Now the advantages:
- The Auto-looter capability allows for bonus box doubler users to grind a little more gg spins and uridium. Why is this needed? Because they PAID for your doubler, so their PET should work completely. So when you return this update and say, "Let the bonus boxes be collected even after your Cargo Bay Is full", you'll have plenty more people willing to pay for doubler and maybe even uridium so that they can buy a pet just to use this feature.
- The entire npc/boxing plan is again back and people can grind their stuff and if they get impatient of extremely tired of grinding, buy a little uridium to help their on their merry way?

Why you bumping man? You're still at the top of the page and barely a minute passed since your OP.

 

This thread has been deleted because of that. i totally don't even know myself why I bumped, guess i was hoping for a faster reply

 

This seems fun

 

box in the bmaps... problem solved

 

Gotta move around - can't AFK, except in the pally feild. Boxing in BM is cannon fodder for you know who
