If drones did not automatically go after Pirates/rat and each rat had to be manually targeted then mining barges could not survive. Therefore; making it impossible to BOT MINE. Or even AFK mine.

How about random Captcha to prove we are not bots.

Plot twist: bots can simulate manual targeting.

Webcams.

Everyone who flies a barge must have an active webcam on, trained at their keyboard. No hands in view, barge asplodes.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Create a counter intuitive, arbitrarily changing mining interface and remove all shortcuts for it, so bots don't know where to start botting.

If they can target asteroids then they can target rats.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

This idea isn't really relative to this thread, but is to drones... should be a higher level of skill to encourage our drones to act like sleeper a.i and understand how to auto ascertain level of importance when set to auto and aggressive. Instead of just choosing next closest (which is fine for certain levels of drone skills)... sort of like... advanced drone warfare, advanced drone programming, adv drone subroutines, I dunno, something.

Many times when I mining I do not even bother killing the rats. All they do is put a tiny red tick on the shields. Also sometimes a noob will warp to my belt and the rats will switch to him and chase him out.

I heard somewhere CCP was working on the botting issue. Can't remember exactly though.

They're not really focused on solving the "bot mining" problem. They're more focused on harassing non-bots to tear farm.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The New order has nothing to do with bots. They farm tears from actual miners.

Their entire Code of Conduct is about dealing with other players and comes with a tear extraction guide.


If a bot goes down the process then it was pure accident.

I'd actually look forward to someone taking some initiative and ganking the bots.

The order showed at lot of promise at once point. I'd like to see someone pick up the torch where they dropped it and seriously deal with botters. That if anything is an effort worth funding.
