Hi all,
Last week i was mining, and you all know how that goes: Start your lasers / drones, go and do something else (like reading a book, watching tv or cleaning the dishes) until you hear: asteroid is depleted! Most of the time your not watching the screen and close enough to hear the voice!
While i was cleaning the dishes i thought that a program would make things easier. Don't understand me the wrong way, i don't want to create a program that does it all on its own!
Most of the things you do while mining are repetitive and require more then 1 click. It would be nice to have a program that does those things in 1 click.
Example: when your ore bay is full, you warp back to the station. I work with bookmarks while mining, so i have to navigate to my bookmarks windows (left upper corner), right click on the station and choose "dock". My program would make it possible for you to just hit the "d" key (for Dock), and the program will do the navigation and clicking. Or hit "1" to warp to the first asteriod belt you bookmarked Or hit "t" to target the 3 nearest asteroids Or... well, you get it.
I do have 2 questions before I put some effort in this: 1. What do you think of the idea, as a player? 2. This one is for CCP, would the program be accepted as acceptable to use or not. Last thing I want is that people get banned because of my program.
P.S. forgive my mistakes in my language, I'm not a native english speaker. |

I think you should probably create a petition and ask directly, be as descriptive as possible and explain exactly what you want to do, and how yo plan to achieve these 'single click' methods.
But tbh... sounds like you'd be treading on very thin ice with the current idea. ... |

I agree, its thin ice. That's why I'm going to ask for permission first. I don't want any trouble. Thanks for the suggestion of a extensive description, that will help absolutly in getting approval. |

to be honest and don't get me wrong i like the whole idea and stuff. but this kind of lightly automates the mechanics of mining. which if i am correct make it a form of botting, which in turn is against the eula.
i word seriously contact CCP and verify with them before even doing a slight attempt on this. otherwise you might receive a ban and i don't think that is your goal with this.
so again dont get me wrong the idea is brilliant. allthough it would only be used by highsec miners if it is even allowed. due to nullsec being to dangerous people wouldnt use it down there i guess |

I don't get you wrong. I admit is a kinda grey area. You also could see it as an extension on shortcuts.
