widchild31, miners have not been banned for ages already. I don't remember any miner's ban wave for at least two years. Only solo bots who used miner 18+ hours/day or brand new alfa clone accounts are banned. I don't recommend you to use bot in a way you cannot play manually although.

Minimal distance when bot start to orbit asteroid is 1000 or 2000m (don't remember exact value). If you use basic maneuvering mode as soon as miner set enough distance it will stop and mine. Don't place bookmarks inside of groups of asteroids and bot will not enter such place when orbiting one asteroid leads to approaching another.

not saying people have been banned just saying that at the LA thing they was saying about that they have a new system in place to help them track down bot user if this is true i dont know

but anyway just been watching my bot and am using a Endurance and my opp range is 10k my bot warp in to the belt and when strate to 4.300m and started to mine dont know if its a bug that its not picking up the opp range it looks at it by opening the mining lazier stat
