Guys I dont want to write special algorithm for boosting as it will take at least couple of weeks to make everything work. How many people are going to use it? In my nearest plans are:

- simple trader for people who dont want to deal with all those settings trader has. First version of it works already, but trading like novice trader. Need to improve it.
- need to add proper win10 support. EP will be ported for .Net 4.5 framework and desktop duplication API will be used to get screenshots.
- EVE playerbase is constantly dropping. I know and CCP knows this by result of game sales. That is why CCP is going to release alfa clones. They have no choice but to switch to free-to-play model and hope that it is not too late to start attracting customers. This might be not good news for you, but I should also think about future and going to start second project, not related to eve.

Hi Slave!

It is just too sad! I didn't realize it was happening. I think I'm just too involved with the game and did't notice. I play eve for so long and this bot is my companion for the past 2 years, maybe...

I hope someone will cat it up and don't let this incredible software dies. I never imagined you are not doing well with this bot. Maybe you find another way to make money with this grate software. At least it is my hope in the long run.

So, i think it is better to get to my booster mining skills for now.

Hope is the last thing to die, so if you change your vision about the future of eve online, we can buy the booster and everyone will be happy!

just one question. How many licenses you need to sell to compensate your time? How much money you need to make with this new license?

Best Regards and good luck!

Slav2,

I can't blame you for not wanting to create a new booster. It's clear that CCP wants to make that a very active role for a player, and that your Booster option for the Miner Bot was never meant to be a full standalone bot. I'm sure we'll all adjust to the lower yield, and just buy more miners ^_^

I like the idea of the simple Trader. Would you ever consider a lifetime license for a simple trader, or the other traders? I'd love to buy one, but can't justify paying that much on a continuous basis for it. I'm also happy to hear about proper Win10 support

Yes, it looks like the writing is on the wall. I imagine that EVE will die a very slow death (as it arguably already is). The introduction of Alpha Clones will either breathe new life into it, or speed up its death. Please let us know if you are looking at making bots for another MMO, I'll admit that whatever game you make bots for, I'll probably at least try

In the event that you pick up a new project, what does that mean for the EVE Pilot? Would you at least be willing to do maintenance on it (same functionality for Miner, Trader, etc. but nothing new), or would you abandon it altogether? If you aren't going to maintain it, would you be willing to publish your code to paying users so that we, as a community, could work on it together?

Dont get me wrong. Evepilot will exist till eve exist. I just want to return the level of income which was 2-3 years ago and don't think it is possible with just one project, whatever improvement I do for EP. I will split time between two projects. EP updates take not so much time to abandon it for something else.

That's a great relief to hear! That's totally understandable, and I think you're right that a new module will probably not be worth your time as much.

If you decide on a new bot for an MMO, please let us know! I'd be happy to help test it for you, if you wanted/needed beta testers, and I'm sure others would be as well.

Make a new license to Booster. Things change. It isn't a miner licenses anymore.

Something new, you can charge for it! Maybe 40 dollars to a new booster license? 70 for 90 for 3? With this new system you can have so much more ore from your booster!

You can bring to life add-ons options as well.

1. Mining Drones add on (we need to buy one for license) 15 dollars for 1 license, 25 for 2 licenses and 30 for 3 licenses...

2. Drones that fight in low, null and WH against players (like a hunter, or something like that) but for drones. Same as before, (we need to buy one for license) 15 dollars for 1 license, 25 for 2 licenses and 30 for 3 licenses...

3. For the Looter license MTU and fleet management getting ore from Orca bay or Rorqual, and so on...

Please Slave! I think a lot of people would pay for that kind of thing.
