Hey guys -
I am in the process of making a skylab bot with AutoIT. Current functionality is a very early alpha - logs into MY account ;) every time it needs to sell (calculated from last send) and sells/sends, given the position of the ship is already correct and the computer is awake. Obviously very basic at the moment. I'm currently working on incorporating:
-Image search for better login / getting rid of all those annoying event notifications
-Moving ship to sell coordinates
-Ability to wake computer (if asleep) to sell
-Detection of premium for sell timer
-Detection of ship
-Hangar change to ship with biggest cargo
-etc.
Currently being developed as best for a secondary computer... like the old, slow laptop I have sitting unused in my desk, so it can get my accounts credits while I'm away ;) Working on a primary computer might not be so good, as it could interfere if the user is on epvp trying to browse forums when it wants to sell prom. :rolleyes: Virtual machines should work well in that case.
What else would you all like to see in a skylab bot? Any suggestions on where to split functions for premium/free versions? (For other programmers - Palavia, fuso98, bestbots, etc - what do you think the best monetization strategy is?) Thanks all - hope to be putting credits in your accounts very soon!
