[HELP NEEDED] How to blacklist sectors for miners/traders

Post by Anubitus » Wed, 12. Dec 18, 12:46

Hey

How can i blacklist certain sectors for my miners and traders? Especially the miners tend to go mining in xenon sectors...

Thanks

Looked for that too, but couldn't find any option to exempt certain sectors for Miners / Traders, so I would love to see too if there's a solution to this :)

Add fighter ships to that too. I have a defence force guarding a gate to a xenon sector. Somehow they decide it is a good idea to follow the xenon through the gate into the xenon sector and get destroyed… I would like to be able to tell them to just guard that spot around the gate, and not persue enemies through it...

Good idea, a blacklist of sectors would be nice - even if it were just a global setting for now.

Yes it will be nice addition; I think also Its very important to have the automine command for a multiple selection of ships and not just like a default behavior, like the autotrader one (galaxy and sector). Right now is a pain to setup a fleet of miners unfortunately. For the behavior setup I think the same, it will be perfect and less painful to support the configuration of behaviors on multiple ship selections.

How do you tell ships to guard a gate? Was trying to have my frigate do it, but could not figure it out. Guard station did not work and I was not able to figure how to use guard area. Thanks.

I dont exacly tell it to guard a gate, i just put the default behaviour to "protect position" and then just put the position near the gate.

My ships are getting destroyed by their own stupidity… Lets go mine in Xenoon sectors... *sigh*
Please, if nothing else, get this in the game... I have just lost 1,5 hour of gameplay because i didnt pay attention to one of my miners...

Same here. Thankfully just lost one miner. The other 2 managed to get away, barely. Problem is 10 minutes after fleeing from xenon, the moron miner goes back to try his luck again. Got him out in time, but I don't want to spend half of my time saving miner from their own stupidity. RED IS BAD! Why can't they get it? There should be a way to at least blacklist enemy sectors for commercial ships, such as mining or trading. Even if only in general.
