Aurora Spacefarer	Posted - 2007.11.07 17:59:00 - [1] This issue is getting old we have complaned about this many a times when you are using any miner (but its worst when you are in a barge) the miner does not disconnect when the roid is "empty" what does this mean well if you are using a regular miner you may mine for 1 min and get 1 piece of trit or if you got more than one miner on the samme roid (or are in a gang) you might get nothing for your cycle its anoying with a 1 min cycle its a huge pain with a 3 min cycle as the barges have I know this is not the first post about this but I think we can all agree it would be a issue that would be really nice to get fixed though I understand it makes only a deference to those of us that mine Aurora

Asestorian Domination.	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:01:00 - [3] That's because it's not a bug. It's basically how miners work. What happens is that they don't collect ore as they are working, they sit for their cycle then at the end of it they attempt to put the correct amount into your cargo hold. If there isn't enough there it will put what is left in your hold instead. It's basically intended, and is how miners work. It probably has something to do with lag reduction. Having all the miners in the world constantly asking the server to give them a bit of ore every second or whatever it is would be taxing. --- MOZO
Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:04:00 - [4] Know how much ore each laser pulls in a cycle. Use a Survey Scanner. Do some basic math. Problem solved.

Problem solved. thats another beef I got actually its (IMO) extremely hard to tell wich roid you are working on if anyone got a fix for this I would like to know it
Aurora Spacefarer	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:09:00 - [7] Originally by: Tarminic I mine quite a lot and I have never encountered a bug like this. you saying you have never had it bring you a partial load at the end of a 3 min cycle if thats true I would like to know your trick also do you ever mine in a gang ??

Aurora Spacefarer	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:12:00 - [9] Originally by: Demje sounds like some basic QQ from an afk farmer. its dumb ppl like you that really **** me off I am not a Afk miner I mine while being at my comp however imo the survey scanner does not identify what roid you are working on making it hard to tell where you are at with your roid not to mention when you cycle it it resets the screen (atleast for me)
Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:13:00 - [10] Originally by: Demje sounds like some basic QQ from an afk farmer. My alt AFK farms, and I never have a problem. Basic 1st grade math saves you from any potential trouble. Originally by: Aurora Spacefarer thats another beef I got actually its (IMO) extremely hard to tell wich roid you are working on if anyone got a fix for this I would like to know it Uh... the one you're working on is the one you have locked? Hit the Survey Scanner, put one laser on each of the 'roids who have the highest amount you see (if it's worth taking) and you're set. Also, if you mouse over the scan results, it will swivel the camera to look at the 'roid you have selected.

Use a Survey Scanner. Do some basic math. Problem solved. thats another beef I got actually its (IMO) extremely hard to tell wich roid you are working on if anyone got a fix for this I would like to know it make a scan - right clik the stone you want to mine form the scanning window - then you know what stones you mine.. - when the roids are getting to small start and stop youre lasers and they use more cap ( not relly a problem here ) and you will lose less time when just let the lasers make there cyles them self. ( its not relly a problem ) Ceo of WAPC WE can build it.

It's not a bug. The strip miner has a 3 minute cycle, at which point it pulls X amount of ore from the asteroid whether is has it or not. Once the timer expires if there's nothing left in the asteroid it disappears. ---------------- Tarminic - 29 Million SP in pink Forum Warfare

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:21:00 - [14] The point is, with a little slight bit of paying attention, you can always know where the 'roid your on is at. Though, I will say, it would be convenient if we did have some sort of locking indication on the scan results so we know exactly which one we're looking for with new scans without all the fuss, but eh.

RF Gonzo	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:29:00 - [16] Edited by: RF Gonzo on 07/11/2007 18:30:57 I encountered this behaviour aswell. Sometimes the laser does not disconnect - which means that the module is still flashing "active", but the roid already disapeared and you have to switch the laser off manually and sometimes it's hard to tell which mining laser is not connected to a roid anymore and you might switch off the wrong one. And i would call it a minor bug, because it only happens sometimes and during my last mining sessions i never had that "problem".
Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:30:00 - [17] Originally by: Aurora Spacefarer I said it was anoying and I would like it fixed It's not going to get fixed when there's nothing wrong with it. You have to pay just a little attention to what you're doing and you'll be fine like the rest of us. They're not going to "fix" something just because it bothers you a pinch.
Syraine	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:33:00 - [18] Doesn't bother me that much either way. I agree about the cycle thing. I think the point OP has is that you can't turn on a miner without having a asteroid targeted, therefore if one pops and you have no target, why would the miner not deactivate as soon as there was no valid target left to mine?
Helktor	Posted - 2007.11.07 18:35:00 - [19] Quote: Yeah actually it is pretty hard to tell which asteroid you are mining. Use the distance from the rock to tell what rock your mining. When you lock the rock down it tells you how far away it is. And then it also tells you in the survey menu.
