Anbots NG — Full Feature List
Everything the bot does, organised by category. Anbots Classic, the original version, is covered in the last section.
Hostile hunting
The core of the bot: automated hostile combat, so you accumulate XP, loot and officer shards while you do something else.
- Automated hunting — finds a target in the current system, attacks, waits for the fight, repeats until a stop condition is met
- Type, level and faction filters — choose which hostiles a drydock goes after; the faction filter is a Premium feature
- Kill On Sight (KoS) — designate a priority type; the bot goes for it first, even if another hostile is closer
- Skip aggressive and boss hostiles — leaves out the targets that would cost you a ship
- Player ships are never attacked — the bot only ever engages hostiles
Drydocks & mining
One mode per drydock, all running at the same time.
- Up to 8 drydocks in parallel — hunt, mine or solo armada on each dock; 2 on the free tier, 8 on Premium
- Target sharing — ships reserve their targets, so two docks in the same system never chase the same hostile
- Mining — picks a free node in the system you choose and mines it
- Recall level — comes home when the node is empty, at 25, 50 or 100% of the protected cargo, or with a full hold; hunters can also come home at a cargo level, or never
- Mines to the last second — stays on a node until it is empty when you ask for it
- Unload and go back — the cycle repeats on its own
Solo Armada & Mirror Universe
- Solo Armada — engages solo armadas of every family, confirms the cost and returns to the fight afterwards
- Mirror Universe — travels through rifts on its own map of the Mirror space and comes back to base with the loot
- Borg cubes — hunted like any other hostile, with the ship's abilities triggered by the bot
Repairs, recall & abilities
- Recall on hull — comes home below the hull level you set; the bot also tracks the damage each fight costs, so it knows how many fights a ship can still take
- Free repair and speed-ups — uses the free repair on arrival and your speed-ups when the repair dialog offers them
- Wait for full shield — waits until the shield is back before the next engagement
- Ship abilities — triggers a ship's abilities automatically; the setting follows the ship, not the dock, so two ships of the same model can be configured differently
- Recall ships on stop — brings every ship home when the run ends
Side actions & base
Run between fights, from the base, in a fixed order.
- Alliance help — helps alliance members on its own schedule
- Chests and rewards — claims free chests, Syndicate chests, archives, items and event rewards
- Bulk Refine — runs the refinery in bulk
- Bulk Faction — claims the faction stores in bulk; Premium only
- Base peace shield — keeps your base shield up, in the shield slot you choose
Control & statistics
- Work budget per ship — give a ship a number of kills or minutes; it comes home once it has spent them, and the budget survives a restart
- Stop conditions — a total duration, or stop once every ship has finished its tasks
- PC action — hibernate or shut down the PC when the run ends
- Statistics — kills today, in total and per hour, plus the daily farm time used against your tier
- Keyboard shortcut — start and stop from any window
- Client care — restarts the game client when it becomes unstable after many hours
Background-friendly & compatibility
- Background-friendly — the game window does not need to stay in front; the bot borrows the mouse for a few milliseconds per click and puts it back where it was
- No screen reading — resolution, display scale, game language and window position do not matter
- No game modification — no game file is changed and nothing is injected into the game process; every action is a normal input with human-like timing
- No BlueStacks or emulator — works with the official STFC PC client only
- Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
- Automatic updates — new versions install themselves
- Languages — English, German, French
- Licence — without a licence: 30 minutes of farming a day on 1 drydock; free licence: 1 hour, 2 drydocks and 200 hostiles a day, renewable every 7 days; Premium: unlimited, 8 drydocks
Anbots Classic only
Anbots Classic is the original, image-based version. It stays available on the download page with no end date, but it no longer receives new features. These features exist in Classic and not in Anbots NG:
- Base raiding — repeated attacks on a station; planned for Anbots NG
- PVP pause — waits for an enemy player to leave the system before resuming
- Warp cell management and Transwarp
- Hailing frequencies automation
- Voyager mode and the dedicated Cube bot with Quick Beam
- Data mining mode
- Ripper mod compatibility, Windows 7 and 8, 32-bit
Classic needs the game window visible in front, a 100% display scale and Windowed mode. It cannot run with the game behind other windows.
