[#3328][7.0] High attention L miner failing again

I set this ship to mine here and rode along on it. It had these 166 silicon in it when it began. I've been watching it for some time now and it's *trying* to mine but utterly failing.


First, while there are silicon asteroids around us, it takes the ship a VERY long time to settle on one and approach it.

Second, it nearly always either rams the asteroid or the drop, ruining most of the silicon.

Third, it then fails to launch drones, and what's left (if anything) despawns.


This process seems to just repeat over and over. It's done it multiple times and mined zero new silicon. What's weird is, the ramming seems to be intentional. It doesn't stop moving until it's where the asteroid is (or used to be). It's not failing to brake in time it just doesn't want to.

As for the drones, I have no idea. I've had them turned off in the past while I controlled the ship myself, but I turned them back on before the AI captain took over. When I take over the ship myself, they're still able to launch. It just doesn't want to use them.

UPDATE: as I've been watching it, it did briefly try to launch a single drone, but it only came onto the pad and then went back in without collecting anything.
UPDATE 2: it got a drone off the pad this time! but it launched right as the silicon despawned so it just had to catch up with the ship and land emptyhanded. The ship did (somehow) pick up a small bit of silicon by way of ramming however, so we're now up to 172 after all this time.
UPDATE 3: I left it for about 2 hours in total and it had just over 200 silicon in the end. I guess probably from the odd part it still picks up by ramming.
