Topic: Allow bots to go in field conatianers

Just ran into someone in general chat who is having this problem, I had the same problem before I formed a corp.

You can not transfer bots between accounts using a field container.  Everyone seems to assume you can. It does not allow you to place a packaged bot inside an FC window.

I do not see any reason why this should be forbidden.  I can not think of anything this does except make it hard for new players to transfer bots between alts.

You also can't put CTs or geo-scanning results. Would be better if they left containers as they are and added a contract, item for item trade or an escrow service. Player made transport assignments anyone? Player made kill assignments? Like a bounty system for players but at both player and CEO level. Links in well with a war system too.

Sounds like a more expandable service.

Edit: Corrected a brain fart.

You can put damaged items in an FC, I do it all the time while kernel farming.

Edit: I do like those other ideas, though.

Yeah, bots should be able to go into field containers, so when we catch miners with their pants down around their ankles, they can hide in their own invincible field containers until we leave.

Re: Allow bots to go in field conatianers

This was actually disabled 1 year ago due to some nasty bug that made your expensive robots simply disappear when put into a field container.

Luckily, as we found out today this bug has been magically fixed since, so we can enable it again big_smile

Yep, time solves everything.

This should be interesting next patch when people start randomly loosing bots from their containers.

Re: Allow bots to go in field conatianers

damn, who cares about bots... GEOSCAN RESULTS in field container would be more usefull.
