My ts's just approach the astroids and spin around then fly away again..over and over...

also.... no transfer occurs between following ships...all have transporters and ore ollectors and all other nessesary hardware/software.

I noticed that same problem in the ore belt. It seems that there are "ghost" asteroids there. That is that asteroids are spotted in the navigation map but if you fly to them they are not auctually there... I found one way to solve this right now is to set all your ships to do a mineral scan. ... dunno if it works yet tho, as I just started collecting last night after noticeing the problem.

I found a problem that would prevent the miner from finishing IF you restarted the automining command just after it had started it's final aproach to the asteroid. You'd end up with two timer's running and the first would not leave you enough time to complete the new aproach so restart the command, and a new timer

Ghost asteroids? some are along way off the ecliptic. try looking up.

I swear I am not making it up!

I have followed my miner to certain spots and watched him fly in circles around what "he" thinks is an asteroid, And I confirmed that an asteroid suppose to be there according to the nav map. But in fact there is auctually no asteroid there. Am I the only one that is experencing this?

It only happens when I set asteroid type to 0. Also when I set asteroid type to 1 2 or 3 it still only mines ORE. ? I think my miner is a retard.....

Just installed this today.

The options are in the menu, but when i enter any of the ore types after selecting the sector, it does nothing and there is no command shown for the ship in the property page.

I am a noob and trying to figure out how to get the script to run. I downloaded the files and put them in the correct folders. restarted the game, and tried to execute <r> the automining script. Selected the ship and the sector but the ship just sits there. Soome help from you gurus please.

Thank

Since noone is in scripting area, How do you get a script that I installed to work. I downloaded the files and put them in the correct folders. restarted the game, and tried to execute <r> the automining script. Selected the ship and the sector but the ship just sits there. Soome help from you gurus please.

Khaak_Hammer · Post by **Khaak_Hammer** » Sat, 13. Jan 07, 20:32

What script is this? I'll help but I'll need more info.

btw I know a huge ammount about "cheat" scripting, extra money, ship's, equipment etc.

@Mod's

he didn't count on the old being moved, my fault really for recomending S&M.

rjweng91 · Post by **rjweng91** » Sat, 13. Jan 07, 20:53

it is the XAI Corp auto mobil mining script.
I see it in my scripts when I am in script editor. But it won't auto mine

Khaak_Hammer · Post by **Khaak_Hammer** » Sat, 13. Jan 07, 21:07

What kind of ship are you using it on? does it have a mining laser in the forward gun slot? does it have an ore collecter?

rjweng91 · Post by **rjweng91** » Sat, 13. Jan 07, 21:29

it is a Teladi Vunture with mineral scanner, best buy/sell, ore collector... here is a pic of it

Also here is the link to the script.

Send it to sector "ore belt" then activate the script, tell me what happen's.

rjweng91 · Post by **rjweng91** » Sat, 13. Jan 07, 23:02

that is just it how do you active the script. it is sitting in Ore belt.

moggy2 · Post by **moggy2** » Sun, 14. Jan 07, 03:17

activate the script editor
save the game
reload the game
select the automining command from the ship's Special Commands menu

rjweng91 · Post by **rjweng91** » Sun, 14. Jan 07, 06:42

Ok I got the script to run but now it may pick up one roid and then all it will do is get next to the roid and spin around and then say there is an emergency signal and the ship docks.
This is the new X2.3.3 script

Ideas thoughts on why this is?

moggy2 · Post by **moggy2** » Sun, 14. Jan 07, 16:17

possibly, you're sitting there watching it on SETA?

The difference between being within range of the MDS to the asteroid and being too close to the asteroid is literally a matter of meters. Too close and the collision detection kicks in and the ship will fly away from the asteroid resulting in the looping you see. It's precission flying from something that wasn't really designed to be that accurate. The fact that it works at all is remarkable.

If you're using SETA in the same sector as a miner then your computer has less processing time to spend on each individual object, the result is the autopilots become less precise. That's not really good news for the autominers.

The good news is that they are programmed to deal with loops. It just takes a while. It can take several minutes to line themselves up, and if there's a problem it can take another minute or so to realise, then they have to start the manouvere again. It's a slow process.

Probably the best way to mine is to leave the sector while it's mining.
