I haven't really played with the custom algorithms. I've been meaning to, but I'm still trying to find that optimal miner VMware set up

I am liking the idea of fleet mechanics.

For example.
-Orca pilot picks a belt
warps to it
checks for roids
checks for npc's
launches drones and kills them
Then broadcasts "I am at location"
checks a tab in overview looking for fleet members to be present
once they show up, fire boosts
watches avoid
checks for jet cans and loots to fleet hold
if fleet hold full broadcast "I am in position" (a looter is watching for this one)
when belt is empty, warps to POS and broadcasts "I am at location" (so miners can sit in safety)
clear history
start over

-Miners monitor fleet window for "I am at location"
warp to location
begin mining
check for avoid
jet can

-A looter is watching fleet window for "I am in position"
warps to location and scoops and takes back to pos until cans are gone
clears history when cans are gone
waits for new message while at pos

-Any time someone sees something they don't like in avoid, or local they broadcast "spotted an enemy"
everyone sees that and warps away. (or this can be used for fight mode grouping)


Sure it sounds simple enough, but this is a rewrite of code and algorithms. New modules for fleet window mechanics and stuff. Not something that can be done in a few days time, by 1 guy, even though Slav is awesome.

Note to Slav. On-Grid booster of this level would be worth a separate lifetime license with looter for free?

Guys, I am not going to rewrite miner algorithm. It is already quite complicated. Any addition to it will break something in traveling, anomaly mining, belt profitability scheme used by miner to detect profitable or unprofitable belts or something else.

People, as I've said before, this should be doable now with Tankmode in a custom algorithm. Please stop asking for unnecessary enhancements. You'd just have to have all bots on the same VM. I'm not able to test it though because I don't want to link my accounts to the same computer. If/when tank mode works across VMs I'll make the algorithm.

I think the main hurdle is how the tank knows how many bots are in the group. I think that can be solved by adding a module that writes a unique ID and status to a file before timer checks on each miner. There would need to be a barrier after undock for all bots so they wait for all to be ready for the buff. Booster then undocks and activates the boosts automatically because they are always on modules. Booster writes that boosts applied, causing miners to check laser yield. You know what... Just manually add yield to miner algorithms to avoid all that mess... You could even have 2 yields configured in case booster not logged in.

Booster would wait for first miner to write that it has no more roids in overview, then booster warp to new belt and tell miners to come.

This is Nice Innominate. If using looter (in case of no Orca or Rorqual in the field) looter should have an idea of how many cans got ejected. If you have a orca, it get like 1 hours or a bit more to get full cargo. So it jump to 0-station take out the ore, and than sum again to the next bookmark if ore is over or if it is not worth anymore. It inform all the others miners to jump to it in the correct bookmark and start again...
