[AP]Automatically buying Boarding Pods for the HQ with CLS

BurningMan · Post by **BurningMan** » Sun, 27. Jan 13, 20:47

So i just started using the CLS software and haven't really figured out completly how it works, could someone explain me if it is possible that a CLS Ship will automatically buy all Boarding Pods in the Universe from the Military Outposts and unload them at the HQ or do i need to set way points to the Outposts manually and tell them to buy Boarding Pods there and then unload them at the PHQ?

You could set a CAG to only trade in BP's and have it set to shopper, it should just keep buying untill HQ fills up.

I find having a EQ or 2 with a CAG employed buys all the wares i need including BP's. They respawn in the military bases quite quickly in AP so you will have to do a lot of boarding to keep up.

Another alternative could be to use CLS and set waypoints to the military bases and then have it unload into a TL, Space in HQ is quite important in vanilla game.

can you exactly explain me how i do this? as i said i just started working with the CLS software and it is a little confusing at the start so a more detailed explanation would be nice.

I currently have set it to buy from 5 Outposts and unload them at the HQ wich might be sufficient anyway as i doubt i will need so much BPs anyway, but it could be useful for the future to know how the CLS software works.

Just to clarify, You have three options with the CLS softwares.

CAG, Internal CLS and External CLS

The method i mentioned refers to a CAG (commercial agent).
You would need to change the settings on the CAG menu to:

Wares List> toggle to trade list
Pick BP's as the only commodity to trade.

Trade duties> toggle this to shopper and set to purchase products 100% sell products 0%

The rest of the setts are self explanatory, you may want him to use JD etc.

You can get a full explanation of the plugin in this thread.
