These two Manorina Sentinels are sitting here staring at an asteroid being totally useless rather than mine it. Not entirely clear why. Their order does not fail, they just won't shoot the rock. I know they are physically capable of mining as they've done it before, but they're not doing it now.
This is I think at least the 3rd time I've reported high-attention mining. Every now and then I make the apparently misguided choice to ride along with my miners, and eventually, version after version, it always breaks.

Here again I saved because I saw a ship staring down an asteroid. Went for coffee and when I came back it's facing the same rock, spinning pointlessly.
Curiously this asteroid is damaged already when I made the save, which suggests the ship was at least at some point able to fire. Then it just stopped.

Re: [#4773] 8.0 HF3 High-attention Miner Fails to Mine
Hello, I too sometimes like to fly alongside my miners and ensure their protection myself.
In high-attention / in sector, I have observed the same behavior as LameFox. Sometimes miners stop doing anything for no valid reason. Sometimes they abandon their drones. All these problems disappear as soon as you leave the sector.
I find it really unfortunate that these problems have existed for a very long time, have been reported several times, and that nothing has changed after all these years. It's a fundamental feature of the base game.
Right now, X4 is going to receive a lot of updates and has received many recently, and really good ones at that.
This problem should now be fixed in v9, I sincerely hope so.

@ luminik: The best way to get things investigated and fixed by the devs as you seem to want is to link a vanilla save that shows the issue happening. That way the devs can see if you have the exact same issue as the OP which is already logged for investigation, or if not it becomes another use-case for them to address.

I know, but unfortunately I can't provide such a backup, as I'm in an advanced and modified run. All I can say is that this problem seems to be universal for everyone. I'm really sorry, but please trust Lamefox.

It's not about "trusting" someone, it's about having evidence that can actually investigated be acted upon. Just saying that you have a problem too, or claiming that "everyone" does, doesn't give us that and adds nothing to the chances of us being able to do anything about it.

I can't provide you with a save file because it has been modified. Several searches show that many players are talking about this. Trusting may not be the right word, but I mean that he has the same problem and seems to have a valid save file.
Many players know that it is best to avoid staying in the same area as miners to prevent problems, this is a well-known concern among players.
