Maneuvering Settings

Maneuvering Settings

'Full Maneuvering' will approach asteroids that are out of optimal range of the mining lasers, in advance of new asteroids being needed whilst mining. This is the only option that uses the 'Asteroids To Keep In Optimal' figure.
'Basic Maneuvering' will orbit asteroids if they are too close (less then 500m) and approach existing targets if they have gotten out of range (Mining laser optimal range minus 2000m). If basic maneuvering is selected and there are no available asteroids within optimal range, EVEPilot will approach new asteroids. The Maximum distance EVEPilot will travel to reach an asteroid is limited by the 'Maximal Approach Distance' figure. If an asteroid is out of maximum distance, EVEPilot will warp to another belt and mark the current belt as non-profitable. When no profitable belts left, bot will use unprofitable or warp to another system if traveling mode enabled.
'Disabled' will cease all movement while in a belt. EVEPilot will continue to mine all of the asteroids within the optimal range of the mining lasers minus 1000m and then warp to another belt. Do not use this if you have only have one bookmark for mining and have disabled traveling. The non-profitable status of a belt will be counted as empty if maneuvering is disabled.
'Delay After Warp' will increase the delay before checking the overview after warp has finished. This is useful for ice mining as ice belts never deplete. Once EVEPilot has warped to an ice belt, there may be too many objects in overview because of lag. If you set the delay of 30 seconds, EVEPilot will wait for the items to appear in the overview for a maximum of 30 seconds. If the asteroids appeared earlier EVEPilot will end the delay automatically.
'After undock delay' is a delay applied when EVEPilot detects space after undock, before the ship stop command is issued. Use it if you tend to bump the station after undocking.
'Accelerate after warp' is used if you have bookmarks created 300km from asteroids. EVEPilot will rewarp to the asteroids normally but with this checked EVEPilot will accelerate first. If you use bookmarks that are close to the asteroids you do not need this enabled as it will produce unnecessary movements.
'Check Acceleration Gates' is required to enable if you mine in missions with acceleration gate. To mine in mission you need to place bookmark near the mission gate and clear NPC, if present, to be able to enter the mission site. As soon as bot does not see any asteroids in the bookmark location, it will check if acceleration gate present and, if present, enter it. If two acceleration gates present in any pocket, bot will use closest gate. To find which missions are good to mine in, check this link. All the ore and NPCs will respawn after DT, so you will be able to use this site for two weeks (till mission expires). Bot may not kill NPC of the mission of the first level, because they dont damage too much to initiate fight mode. Try to setup longer delay after warpout to wait for a damage or kill mission NPCs manually after DT. If NPCs not killed you may not be able to enter the next pocket in the mission.
'Orbitting Asteroids' setting may help you to tank NPCs in zeroes. Changing default orbitting radius will require new first run.
'Avoid PC and Avoid NPC' will make EVEPilot check if Player Characters or Non Player Characters are present in the belt. If it detects them, it will warp to another belt. The status of the belt will set to avoid, similar to when an empty belt is detected but it is not permanent.
'Avoid Dangerous NPC' is used to flee from capital sized NPCs and triglavian ships. If you tick this option you also need to tick 'Blind Mode' to constantly monitor local while minng. Redo first run to setup avoid overview preset and add dangerous NPC groups to overview.
'Avoid Incurion' will detect incursion in the system and, if traveling enabled, will move bot to the next system on the route. If traveling disabled, bot will log off till the next DT.
'Avoid Time (sec.)' is used to determine the amount of time a particular belt is set to be avoided. Enter the amount of time in seconds that you want to avoid the belt for.
'Avoid Forward Bases' - deactivated settings. Bot scanned for forward based in the agency window, but this window frequently change content and this option was removed to find better solution.
'Stop after undock' is necessary if you mine in zeroes and want to stay close to a station while bot checks for lasers data on start.
'Avoid PC ships' is a check list of player character ships you want to avoid. Every time you change any of these settings you will need to do a first run to put the permanent changes into effect or use temporary option and tick adjust overview presets in asteroids to mine panel.
