Okay, a note of caution... I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there are over 24,000 members of this forum and usually over 150 people viewing it. Of course, far fewer than 24k actually still bot. But most of the people that still bot probably do so with more than 1 account. And the Russian forums have a thread with over a hundred pages talking about how to run lots of bots on servers or in the cloud.

You've released enough for 0.0 miners to greatly benefit, because those roids are so large that it can take a team of miners a few hours to mine out one roid. (One lost cycle doesn't matter much in that case.)

In Empire, mining drones mining the same roid as lasers could increase yield by around 10% to 15%.

Good point.

Why you no mine? Hunter module in NullSec more profitable? or you running trader with wealthy mode active?

I mine in High-sec, not telling where lol. I have changed back to using a roid scanner. I see that it is far more efficient than just blind mining, no calculation tests needed.

I have thought about moving to NullSec, but it scares me. Not sure where to look, do i rent a system? do I join a corp and hope they dont ban me. It would be awesome if we had a BOT friendly corp several of us could join. But how could we trust anyone in it?

I would add to what innominate said here, you might want to wait to release more code. If everyone who bots starts using mining drones, the price of minerals/ore will go down. If you enable Rorqual bots, the price would plummet even more. Just something to consider...

Version 2.0 has been released!

Updated OP (original post) with the updated 2.0 files.

Please feel free to play, test, use, don't use. I made this for me, but if you can make use of it... go for it.

If you see any bugs, please tell me. If you have any suggestions, please tell me.
-Where it is failing you. the code is mostly marked so you can debug mode it and tell me what section.
-Where you see room for improvement on the code.
-Any features you think this should have, but doesn't.

If you have any complaints, message them directly to Innominate, he runs the complaint department.

Valid argument. But some of us just want to watch the world burn. Just kidding. I don't want the market to crash.

I've been working on this framework for over a year. So I'm not telling either!

I took a look at the EP Hunter, but it didn't make much more. It doesn't recognize when it is being scrambled, so when it crashes whenever it can't MJD or warp.

Renting a system for yourself would be your safest bet for nullsec, but then you have to be prepared to have your own logistics and infrastructure (Citadels, POSes, Jump Freighters to take your ore to market...). I would not recommend hoping that a random corp is ok with botting, since CCP will crush any corp/alliance that knowingly allows bots. A corp for botters would just make CCP's job swinging the Banhammer that much easier I don't think any of us should or would trust each other... too much to lose.
