Miner Settings

'Mining Lasers' - Set the number of mining lasers you have on your ship. EVEPilot will look for the mining lasers in slots: high-1, then high-2 then high-3. This setting is a quick alternative to module fittings panel.

'Asteroids to Mine' - This is the maximum number of asteroids you want to target and mine. If you use combat drones, then one target slot is reserved for the fight module. You should get targeting trained to at least level 3.

'Blind Miner' is an option that will skip control of a client to increase the overall speed when running multiclients. There are a few periods when control of the client is not required:

For about 7 seconds after dock or undock.
For about 40 seconds after warp has been initiated.
A period of time after mining laser activation.

Blind miner has some disadvantages and should only be enabled if you are using multiclient or if you want to add constant checks of NPCs or PCs during mining. If your ship is destroyed in a belt by players or NPC, you will temporarily fly around in a pod because EVEPilot wont expect this. This might not be so bad as a human afk miner will not log off straight away after getting suicide ganked. To add constant checks for NPC/PC also activate 'Avoid PC/NPC' checkboxes.

'Max Targets' - Set the number of things you can target. As a general rule, this number is equal to your targeting skill + 2.

'Max Time While In Belt' - This timeout will warp your ship to station. The time starts counting from the moment you warp to the belt.

If the client spends less then 75% of 'Max Time While In Belt' before it fills the cargohold (to 100%), EVEPilot will warp to the same belt next time. Set max time in belt to real value and bot will select good belts and move out from bad!

You can calculate the number of seconds you need to enter by noting the time it takes to fill cargohold and then add 25%.

You can use it when:

You ice mine. It is better to limit the amount of time mining by using a timeout rather then by cargohold capacity.

If you want to warp to a new belt every time that EVEPilot has to select the destination belt to warp to.

'Mark Belt As Non Profitable' - If the takes longer to fill the cargohold than the figure entered into 'Max Time While In Belt', you can choose to mark the belt as non profitable. EVEPilot will not warp here until it is profitable to do so again or there are no more belts in the system. Checking this option is good idea when you have many bookmarks and there are plenty of belts to mine from.

'Minimal cargo' - If the cargohold has less than this figure EVEPilot will only stop mining when it hits the 'Max Time While In Belt' timeout. The cargohold load analysis and warp out time estimation functions will be switched off.

'Maximal Cargo' - Set the maximum cargohold percentage. When the cargohold reaches this figure it will warp to station. Set minimal cargo = maximal cargo if you mine ice.

'Max # of BMs' - Set the maximum number of bookmarks you want to use for mining. During automatic bookmark creation, this limit not applied. EVEPilot will automatically detect that you have less bookmarks than this figure in a system.

'Ore Hold Present' checkbox must be checked if you mine to ore hold. If you use mining frigate you must tick this checkbox aswell. Untick this option is you want to start deliverer. Deliverer does not use orehold.

'Use Corporation Office' - tick if you want to unload ore to corp hangar and have corp office in station/citadel

'Autocreate BMs' - EVEPilot must have bookmarks in the system in order to function. This failsafe is checked by default for new users. Once all the bookmarks have been created please uncheck this option because it might delete your bookmarks and recreate them under certain conditions. This function will add maximum 14 bookmarks (the number of lines visible in overview without scrolling). To have more bookmarks place them manually.

'Refit Crystals' - The option was used to drag crystals from station when no ordeholds were introduced yet. If you only mine one type of ore you can set EVEPilot refit the crystals. T1 and T2 crystals supported. Does not work on POS. You may save time on additional checks if you fill cargohold with crystals, load crystals to lasers manually and disable this option.

'Use Survey Scanner' - If you have a survey scanner you can scan the content of asteroids and detect the amount of time before the asteroid is depleted so the mining lasers can be switched off. Choose the position of survey scanner using module fittings panel.

Timeout to lock target - Timeout usually applies when your ship jammed by NPC. This way bot will exit waiting procedure earlier and do other actions.

Unload to Jettison Container - Set this flag and bot will not return to station or POS to unload ore. It will jettison ore in space or use existing jettison container. Default name of container is an UTC time in HH:MM format. You should have your computer clock synchronized to set this time correctly. Name expression may be used to customize format of jetcont name. You can use any number or letter, space or a few simbols as a static part of the name. Expressions in brackets {HH}, {MM} and {NN} may be used to add changeable part to the name, where {HH} is current hour, {MM} is current minute and {NN} is a number in the range 1-99. Example: if expression is {NN} bot will name containers as 1, 2, 3..., if C-{NN} new names will look like C-1, C-2, C-3 etc. Numeric part of the name defined by {NN} expression will increment if container with corresponding name already exists.

Dont Rename Jetcont - set this flag to leave default jetcont name

If you want to repair your ship in station tick 'Use Repairshop' checkbox. Bot will repair all damaged items in this station but start this procedure if armor damage detected last time when bot docked to a station.
