Mimic Repeat Orders

The impossible is possible: use the Mimic behavior for Repeat Orders.

Image

Features
  • Assign any appropriate Player-owned ship to commander with Repeat Orders enabled as subordinate with Mimic behavior.
  • The subordinate ship will copy the Repeat Orders of its commander.
  • Ships with insufficient AI Pilot skill to use Repeat Orders will be not assigned or removed.
  • Any changes to the commander's Repeat Orders will be automatically reflected on the subordinate ship.
  • Works with Sell, Buy, Mine and Collect Drops vanilla orders.
  • Works with Mining in Sector order from the Mining in Sector for Mimic Repeat Orders mod.
Limitations
  • Only one level of Mimic behavior is supported. Ships assigned as subordinates to subordinate ships will not be able to mimic their orders.
  • Changes to subordinate ship's will be reflected with small delay, up to 30 seconds.
  • Currently working only with Sell and Buy orders. Other order types may be supported in future versions.
