cheers for the reply. I meant to post back here sooner. I gave the bot another go, and for some reason the problem went away. I did change a couple of things tho. The only major one being that I got the bot to orbit instead of aproach the roid, as I found that if it locked onto a rock that was 10km away, it would start the aproach and then instanly stop, so there was a possibility of the ship drifting out of mining range. I dont really know if this will be a problem in the larger mining ships, but it has no effect on my bantam
Other then thats its a wicked little bot. The only thing that I have noticed is that sometimes it doesnt detect that mining has finished, but that only happened once or twice in quite a few runs.
