Hey Slav2,

You've mentioned previously that you planned to implement a Selected Tank system that would not be dependent on sharing a VM. Do you still intend to do this? If so, has there been any progress?

I've been experimenting with using a modified Miner bot to act as a Booster, but it'd only work if the Booster were the selected tank (otherwise the miners will not go to the right BM). As you well know, having all the bots on the same VM/system seriously degrades their performance/yield, so being able to split that up would be extremely beneficial.

If you haven't yet worked on it, would the Fleet mechanics work for it? If the Selected Tank is initiating warp, it could use the Fleet Warp to the chosen BM. If you wanted to have each bot warp themselves, then the tank creates the fleet, so it'd be in the Squad Leader position, so the bots could join the fleet and record who their squad leader is as the tank, and "Warp to Member" when they were ready. I don't know what to do to designate that the tank is "ready" for the rest to join it...

The Booster version he did has been working flawlessly for months now.
I am holding out hope that cross VM Tank mode will happen too.

Sorry, what Booster version do you mean? I didn't realize the Booster bot did anything but sit still and act as fleet booster...?

Sorry, didn't mean the booster bot. This, which I think is in everyone's version now. www.macrolab-online.com/forums/17-suppor...24&lang=en#40923

Slav2,

Could you weigh in on whether or not networked tank mode is in your plans? Thank you!

Will add this to my plans after bot preparations to Ascension eve patch.
