kbot questions

Hi finally managed to get my kbot now i have some questions, have noticed in uppers if attacking npc does not keep proper distance and loses a lot of hp and gets popped quite often or has to run. Is there a way to fix this? Am a bit wary of using it on gg if it is getting popped on a kristallon (pirates etc dont help i know) Am using it atm just for bonus boxes but would like it to do more so if anyone has good setup instructions would appreciate it, thanks for any replies

The /problem/ is that other aliens are attacking you, while you're attacking a bk (IE: You maybe attacking a bk, but they'll probs be 4-5 sk's attacking you).

To be perfectly honest, I don't really see the point in using a bot to kill NPCs, collecting boxes is one thing, as its boring, but killing NPC is pretty much the secondary point of the game.

Config kBot to attack everything in the map, So once it finishes a BK, it'll go for the SKs, and it maybe an idea to set kBot to repair at a percent of like 50% or something if you're being popped a lot.

It all depends on your ship though, a FE ship isn't going to have as many problems as you are, and depends on the ammo you're using, So maybe stick to lowers for a bit, or just bot for uri for few days to get FE / Bio.

In GG, It's a little different, and personally for me, It completes the GG perfectly fine except in gamma, but if you're using it in GG, be sure to know when to come out and change config (IE: For prots, you'll want more engines, than for sibs; for example)

You need to configure the RADIUS for NPCs.

thks warrior, yes i basically have just been boxing with it now. I did get brave and send into gamma and it done well, but made the mistake of coming out after sibelons and now it wont go back in. But thats np just have to do it old style
