Every changes in mining system was proposed earlier making good only for bots.
Etc: Lets make strip offline randomly in every second, and to online it you'd need solve mathematical equation?
BOTS CAN DO IT, not you, sonnie-boy.

So...

I KNOW HOW TO DESTROY MINING-BOTS


1. Every asteroid must be only scanned with бытьspecial probes. We don need belts anymore. (just for lulz or photos)
2. On this kind of gravimetric must be many of ore, very many of ore. And all of it must be placed in 3-5 roids.
3. 10-100 gravimetrics in every star system (as we have belts in system today).
4. Mining process from start to finish of this gravimetric must take a little time - 15 min maximum. It'll make bots useless.

What do we get?
1. Etc. Hulk with ore-bay at 300-600 thousands of m2 cargo, that you'll fill in 10-15 min; gravimetric scan bonuses.
2. Roids, deep in space, filled with tons of minerals, mined in conformity with future technology in minutes, not in hours.
3. Active mining, all you need.
4. No mining-bots, coa bots can't scan.
5...
6. PROFIT

I know, dear miners, you (most of us) like new boto-afk-mackinawa. But think about future!
Mining is ideology, religion! Lets make mining professional, not hobby for bots!

P.S. forgive me for my english. And hello from Russia!

Let the butthurt flow through you...

This makes Bots more complicated to program, it doesn't destroy them. Pretty much anything a person can reasonably do can be botted with a reasonable effort. I think CCP's approach of controlling bots is better than spending resources trying to stop them and just pissing off the non-bots.

That said, I do like the oft repeated idea of removing static belts and making more belts that are scanned down (and ring mining!).

As a man, who knows little bit programming, i say - its very hard to learn bots to scan with probes. I mean is near impossible.
