Just curious, but my max cargo (40,000 m3+) Indy is only completing 2 level 4 missions per hour.

I have full access to all corps in the faction, (8+ standings) and have listed all corporations as valid.

Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to optimize the bot?

I've selected 2-12 missions and am always traveling with 10-40K worth of cargo.

I'm only making 10-12 mil liquid per 8 hour day.

That's reasonable for 8 hours a day. I personally have run couriers for 12 hours a day, every day, for over a year and never had any bans or issues, so feel free to go longer if you want more liquid ISK. The real money from the Courier, however, is the Loyalty Points. Be sure that you look to cash them out for profitable items (www.fuzzwork.co.uk/lpstore/ for reference). Also, the Important Trade missions yield +4 implants, which each sell for between 17-20 mil each. The liquid ISK from courier missions is nice to have, but not by any means the majority of the ISK gained.

Thanks for the feedback!

Check list:
- mouse speed and delays in bot settings adjusted. Mouse to 7, delays to max speed.
- ticked to use mail links to talk with agents and to set destination in fine tuning
- set the same preset name in shared settings->first run wizard settings for stations and gates
- finished first run when courier is selected
- leveled skills for faster warpout and using corresponding implants
- using only recommended corporations for better LP/ISK rates
- selecting home station in a system with max stargates and far from low sec

Thanks Slav2,

I did as you said and now I'm completing 3-4 missions per hour.

The FAQ and help guide says not to use mail links as that is not like human behavior. However, that fix alone has drastically reduced my time in station. I've also upped my hours per day, but I think I will back it down to 9 or less...I'm paranoid.

Thanks for making this great product! As I don't have time to play much anymore due to RL, this helps me feel like I'm getting my monies worth from my subscription. I don't really care about the isk very much, it's about the standings and RP reasons.

Further to this;

My bot has stopped running storylines. I have 20+ stored up in the Journal, but bot is set to 60 minutes checking and indeed checks, but never runs them, despite 'Priority' being checked.

Bot checks Journal at startup but then closes and continues with normal missions.
Periodically rechecks journal, but closes and continues anyway...

Tips?
