As a cyborg who's civil rights been constantly oppressed by the full flesh an blooders I think this is a good compromise.

Automation is in my blood and circuits and my heritage shouldn't be oppressed.

Come to think of it, OP, keeping my sec status positive really isn't that important, and I should have enough that podding your bot-loving arse shouldn't lock me out of hisec.

Um.. NO mining needs to be completely overhauled to be more active, challenging, and fun. make it more mini-game like so people would actually want to do it.

Automation is what got the EVE economy in the toilet in the first place. You are a bad man, and should be ashamed of yourself, for even contemplating such drivel.

More "accepted" automation, would lead to more unaccepted automation, as that would become a lot easier.

I do however have an idea ( which i hope never gets incorporated in the game ).

Being able to eject from a ship, while it keeps on mining, so you can get into another ship to go hauling and have a 3rd ship ready to fight rats if needed.

Which is basically the same as having 1 main and 2 alts, but now all ships are used by one char.


A better way to do this would be slave circuitry. Sit in, say, an Orca, running a Slave Control module. That module would lock your Orca (and all modules but the slave control module) in place/activation mode, but give you control of whatever second ship you've linked it to via a Slave Circuit. This could be a hauler, or a miner, or even a combat vessel. Multiple controllers could be fitted, but only linked to one ship each.

This would also open up some interesting stuff in PVP.

They could even make a special ship class designed to take advantage of it. Of course, operating ships like this would need to have some sort of drawback.

Just to clarify a few points....

I don't want bots in the game - I do want it more interesting - that said, coding the changes might (and we all know I'm right here) break other parts of the game.

I personally was referring to ice mining which is the most boring part of mining and wondered how to fix it - which would lead to increasing the automation because I don't want the game broken ...more than it is ....

Shame on you lot for thinking otherwise.

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Ms. Shame can always get on top of me if she is nice.

But game breaking stuff is not going to fly. Ever. A little tiny adjustment can break the game already. It is not going to survive game breaking changes. You have no idea what millions of curious and naughty players can do to a game (=> "massrape").

A good game, like EVE is, needs a balance of all thingies. It needs quick'n'fun stuff and a bit of dull'n'boring. Mining is cool when you want to chill with friends. EVE is pretty rich in variety so do not try to improve everything just after you have learned about it. Get to see the bigger picture first.

Just stop mining when you get bored. Do something else.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

This idea is so bad i think everyone who has read it should be checked for cancer.

Not really fond of the idea, however I will point out that there is the potential to have a Capital Mining Platform. One that is the equivalent to a Carrier and utilizes mining pods (whatever you want to call them) instead of fighters.

That's about as close to automation as I'd like to see.
