Looter "forgets" cans when tank switches belts 12 Years ago

The scenario is the following:
- looter is setup to work with a tank (group tank use)
- tank+miners are in belt #1 and they use jet-can mining
- looter picks up cans at regular intervals only from belt #1
Some time later:
- tank miner doesn't find any asteroid left, algorithm tells it to switch to belt #2
- tank+miners move to belt #2
- at this moment, if looter isn't in belt #1 (is in warp, at POS, in station, etc.) and there are still cans left in belt #1, he will ignore them and will later warp to belt #2 once someone jettisons a can there.
So each time the tank+miners are switching belts (quite often), the looter will forget about the cans in the previous belt.
This adds up to quite a good amount of lost ISK.

Yes this is disadvantage of working with a tank. Need to implement corporation bookmark autocreation to pass each jetcont location to looter.

Thanks for the confirmation, was thinking that there was maybe some setting I'm missing. It would indeed be a much apreciated option as with slow warping looters (such as Orca) you cannot set the "check_belt" time too low as it will spend most of the time warping and not boosting.
So either way there will be quite a decent loss of ISK in the current setup.

this is easy for people that has his on corporation ,because if I make bookmarks to my corporation of my cans, they will very furious with me.
Corporations with a lot of people can't work like that.
If you have your copy and would like to use this option, make the bot rename the can and add to the bookmark, this way you can configure the loot to get. It is in the tutorial setup letter to get corp bookmakers.
Look there.
