recall drones - ok
the script stopped. The only reason to stop the bot automatically is stated here :
bool MeasurementEmergencyWarpOutEnter =>
!(Measurement?.IsDocked ?? false) && !(EmergencyWarpOutHitpointPercent < ArmorHpPercent);
void RetreatUpdate()
{
RetreatReasonTemporary = (RetreatOnNeutralOrHostileInLocal && hostileOrNeutralsInLocal) || (listOverviewDreadCheck?.Length > 0) || (listOverviewEntryEnemy?.Length > 0) ? "hostile or neutral in local" : null;
if (!MeasurementEmergencyWarpOutEnter)
return;
// measure multiple times to avoid being scared off by noise from a single measurement.
Sanderling.InvalidateMeasurement();
if (!MeasurementEmergencyWarpOutEnter)
return;
RetreatReasonPermanent = "Armor hp";
}
and is commanded here:
if (0 < RetreatReasonPermanent?.Length) { Host.Log("bot stop"); return BotStopActivity; }
Until you warped home, did you took damage from rats? it was activated armor repairer ? ( that was the reason to activate him when you retreat, and also if the red come on you, you could have couples second in +.
So the only reason to stop the bot’s when you take damage too big to be safe on ratting in your area. Its a safety used once when you take dmg too big from rats and the second when you have to retreat because of reds and also you take damage too big.
So, from the first point of view for this bot I had in mind, its safety, not speed.
So, i have to ask you next :
- what anomaly you take?
-what ship you use?
-what is your fitting? It’s a speed tank fit? armor tank?
-at what distance you orbit?
-what was the damage you sustained or armor?
and now it begins some theory ( sorry for that)
first: you can’t control the position of your home and anomaly.
the most bad combination is : armor tank, 10mm afterburner ( something like my fit of myrm) , smallest orbit : 20-30 km.
Why? because you are too close to rats. and because you will take all the time dmg and you will stay only in armor repairer. Imagine yourself notthis situation:
a red is comming
the bot stop the burner,
repairer in on already
and align to home point.
now, you pass right between the rats
it pass 5-6 sec when you have not speed and you take the bigger possible dmg, from 3-8 battleships
And remember you stay on armor, not shield.
So that means you already have the armor at 80% ( any value actually)
and you take from 4-8 ships 200-600 dmg /2-4sec
and until you become invincible from warp, your damage is multiply 2-3
I meant you have 60-80% chances to lose the ship in this conditions, even like a human, a bot … is a bot; he follows some steps
In this case you have to review your strategy game.
After i lose some ships ( ~ 12-16 vni at 250m) i come to use my fit.
its a speedy tank, and I orbit at 40-43 km.
Of course the bad thing is F-89 Compact Signal Amplifier , but he increase thetarget range and also my sig.
So, i keep aggro on me( so my drones are safe and also speedy), and also usual, even with 20 rats around me I take 0 -5 dmg/ 10min ( except the beggining of anomaly)
So IF i have to go between rats, I have all shield and 60% of armor to warp and dock home. In 7-8 sec until I warp, i can fly 10-15k until the full dmg from rats , and only 50% from them (so 2-4, not 4-8 rats)
Now you do the math I have 100% armor + 60%armor to lose and have a bot stop.
you had 10-70% armor to lose for a bot stop.
In 4 months i lost 0 ships with this fit and strategy, and is the reason for using the myrm from time to time ( and also for testing new systems) because Im bored of same ship
