But i still enjoy it..
Anyways theres a little feature i would like to see.
I want to be able to set amount of cycles my miners should take before deactivating. And i want to be able to set 0.x values
With basic knowledge of mining yield, different roid densities and the ore scanner - setting these values will improve the mining yield/hour. It takes a little work, and gives a little back so its not just an easy button.

this is a completly unessesary feature.. if you dont want to mine any more just turn off the module..
there is no need for this kind of "Confort feature"

Do you mine yourself?

Perhaps another simpler option is to reduce the cycle time on some of the larger mining mods to one minute instead of three minutes, and like wise reduce yields to 1/3rd their current yeild. This would mitigate the need for new stuff, and also help with the issue of wasted time, long cycles and partial ore yeilds and smaller roids.
Ice could also do this. CCP would need to adjust the related numbers to these items, but that wouldn't be too difficult to do.

yes i do... i also mined when there was no mining barges around and i had to mine in an apocalypse with simple CU vapors. 
So i am aware of the dullness of mining altho it's also sometimes nessesary (and faster) than other things but definatly much more boring.
the idea of reducing the yields might cause more panic than reducing the time.. altho when it comes to ice mining..
i must say that it's more dull than standard mining ever was..
but what i am against is the concept of activly set the miners to mine 1-10 cycles beceause it would be the same of placing an eggclock and once it's done auto stop it. in a way it changes the way i did the first times i mined 
BUT i can actualy se one positive thing about it but that would only be possible if one had to limit it to only mine from 1-10 cycles.. it would seriusly hamper macromining and if one handle it that way i might be alittle more interested since micro mining realy draws isk prices on minerals down..

Get a stop watch, calculate the ore mined per second, and divide by the amount in the rock. Then time the lasers and stop it once the rock is empty. You have just solved your problem, and no extra coding was required.
Everyone is born right handed, only the great over come it.

It wouldnt hinder macro mining.. its a macro, it will just Hit F1, 2 and 3 constantly making them cycle again..
Furthermore, its not about an egg clock.I want full control over the miner, i want it to stop automatically after it has mined the amount i have calculated. I hate when all 3 miners start mining again on roids that has >100 units because then they've just used all the cap and it will only take them 10-20 secs to mine the remaining amount while the cap will take 2 mins to recharge and thats 2 mins i have to wait before i can hit the next roids.
its a skill thing, and you obviously havent mined enough to see it.
