Buddy Wing - Space Missions preview!

[mephuser1000]

Yes, I was running it at 1920x1080. We won't be using a pixel bot or any "scripted" action for this bot; it's fully dynamic. As it stands now, it works without profiles too, as it's steered by going after the other ships rather than going through its own path - the other ships avoid any obstacles, so most of the time we profit from them.

Also Croga, we have full support for casting spells in Buddy Wing, which includes casting the spaceship's spells.

At least you can set it to the combat bot right now and go PvP. Just drop the pull range to 0.01 and you'll have full control until you target someone. Is fun to run around and jump on someone and have the bot take over to just take them down...

Not sure about the scriptless space combat concept.

For example, you have target group A, B, C, D
Mandatory1: You must kill 4x of A but A only spawns at specific timings.
Mandatory2: You must kill 60x of B, B spawns most of the time.
Bonus1: You must kill 30x of C but doing so will affect kill rate of A and B
Useless1: D is a useless target doodad. Gives exp but is not required to complete mission

So how does the scriptless concept handle the above?

Some ship spells are either too expensive (needs special tokens) to be bought or overwrite/interfere with your normal missiles (proton torpedoes).

Expensive ship spells include:
1) EMP and
2) "Divine Shield" (Projectiles fired at you before spell is casted still kills you). Both are not required to do the missions unless you are badly geared.

If you do the daily missions its not hard to buy the items needed. Lvling up via space missions I always had enough commendations to buy them. Even running 24/7.

Will this be able to complete bonus missions as well for the extra credits/hour? It's very important for the lvl 40 missions.

The thing is that:
1) Only the "Power Conversion Module" is worth the price of 30 space commendations.
2) The EMP, "Divine Shield" whatever and Proton Torpedoes aren't worth the time and grind. (I shouldn't wait 1 month just to do Level 40 to 50 Space Missions)
3) Space commendations grind got nerfed pretty badly in 1.2, only the daily missions rewards them in pitiful amounts.
4) Even a simple pixelbot can complete the high level space mission + bonus (minus the bonus which requires 4x proton torpedoes) without the EMP and "Divine Shield"

The bot shouldn't be built around the EMP and "Divine Shield". Only the "Power Conversation Module" should be needed.

Totally agreed, especially on the fact that doing the dailies nets you the most commendations.

Grinding the highest/best is really only good for cash.

I lvled a toon 15 to 50 in 6 days using pixelbot. Was able to buy all as got to lvl requirement. Got over 600 comms now. Just did it as test. Had 3 mill creds. Spent 1 mill on gear, then havent touched him.

Cant wait for buddywing to get space missions so can do 2 at a time

Never bothered with torpedos since heard was buggy.

just from that vid, a few questions. admittingly i didnt watch it all but did it use missiles at all? and there was at least one hit on an ice chunk i saw... assuming that doesnt happen all the time lol

Torpedoes are "buggy" because the firing mechanics suck BIG TIME. Torpedoes will overwrite missiles and torpedoes requires a channelling time of >2sec(depends on lag) with your right mouse button push down. You need to use up all torpedoes before you can switch back to missiles.

For a pixelbot (not sure abt background ones): The less you use missiles the better. Missiles always go out of sync and miss targets, so you end up failing objectives.

It doesn't look like it did... But seeing how it's an early version and they are just working on getting the core capabilities working (there were also issues with it trying to shoot at things that it couldn't see) I'm okay with missiles not working yet.

They will have to code normal missile use, tho (if nothing else with the yellow "use missiles here" targets). Otherwise if you have the minimum equipment for that mission you will more then likely fail.

Luckily this isn't a pixelbot. They are actually reading the memory space and computing everything from there.

so bottom line, how long till shes good to go?

 

[richassman]

What's the ETA?
This bot looks yummy, can't wait for the release.
This product should attract more customers.

This is the best way to make money on this this game. In addition to using the questing profiles, altho i think this would make more money per hour.

 

[Joshue26]

Im too still waiting this to get released, because i bought the bot but can't get it to work can't grind,quest,pvp my char doesnt move

please make this space mission combat comes to LIVE! T_T

 

[Starbrox]

How's it coming along Aevitas? .. really looking forward to this space mission bot, so i can earn some creds before 1.3 (hopefully) If your even still doing this

 

[richassman]

I am not using this product or swtor account while i wait. Please push out this release asap. Even a beta version, i need to start making using of my ingame time and use of this year of this product.

Kind regards,
RAM

Amazing! space missions are extremely effective in leveling...i've done 12-50 in 3.5 days with those. I really enjoy leveling to 50 and doing all my class missions with good gear, I get to enjoy the story of the class without the wait of leveling.

Plus, Aeten Defense is around 96k per hour credits...close to 1 mil per 10 hours.

 

[DTrick]

I'm actually botting it right now with an AUTOIT script in vmware as im typing this lol, i was wondering if i should pick up this one but unfortunitly the space missions are not out on this bot yet.

Aeten Defense: It's not possible to get 1mil per 10hours unless you complete the bonus missions.
Complete bonus missions = Need missiles to fire in sync = Not possible for pixelbots.
