Autobuy for commodities - Narcotic - 04-13-2012

Would it be possible, to have a command like;

/autobuy H-Fuel on

So that, everytime, you dock at a base, where that commodity is for sale, it automatically gets bought?
Same like the existing autobuys.

Yes, I am lazy.:$

Anyways, what do you think?

I like this idea from a convenience standpoint, and honestly, I see little reason why it shouldn't be added.

That said, and I'd like to disarm this before it's brought up, it won't encourage powertrading any more or any less. Silent powertraders will powertrade regardless of features like this.

Well, I don't see any reason, why not to try it.
And I doubt, that it'd be that hard to do, since the other /autobuy commands work well...

This has also nothing to do with Powertraders actually.
Or do people RP with NPC bases?

In my opinion, it just saves time, which can be used for experiencing more RP interactions, hopefully.

Not?

Well, seems like I need to fight my laziness then. x)

My problem with this is that, each time you undock from a base, you'd have to disable the command. It would really, really suck to undock, only to realize "Oh crap, I just bought 4500 gold at 999 999 999 credits each", because you forgot to turn it off.

I don see any need in that command for fuel or something else. dont be lazy or soon we will have auto-battle command that will allow you to fight auto way
and Vhir is correct. desabling that command all time is meh...

Buying commodities from NPC dealers is no player interaction. So don't compare it to PVP fights.
And wouldn't have tu use it, if you don't need it. See it as a small feature.

I fully support this.
