I'm looking for an uber basic macro program without junk..

I like the idea of your macro I am actually trying it out right now.

One thing I don't like about it is that it automatically orbits ice/asteroids once it arrives at it's destination. Is there anyway to turn off the auto orbiting or is there any chance in future versions to have the auto orbiting have an option to turn off the auto orbiting.

If one is mining ice there is no reason to orbit. The macro just needs to get the ship to the belt and back..

I am looking for exactly your kind of macro but it seems a bit pointless for it to auto orbit when it gets to it's destination especially if I don't want it to.

But I do like your program so far. And I'v tried quite a few.

What happens in an ice belt if it gets stuck on something?

I bought your program in good faith in that you'll improve it, in future but personally the only thing I need your program to do is not orbit stuff I don't want it to orbit.

I'm quite happy with it so far, a real no nonsense macro program that doesn't muck about with extra stuff that will screw up the macro. 8)

Oh I bought the full version can I have forum access for the full version thanks 8)

3 Things I would like from your macro and that's about it.
- I would like an option to turn off any kind of auto orbiting
- An auto reconnect feature so that if Eve needs to reconnect for any reason it can.
- A downtime feature so it restarts Eve after downtime automatically.

That would make your macro pretty much perfect in my eyes. If one wants a macro that JUST does it's job without any complicated extras that can potentially and often do screw up most macro programs.

And really, the only thing I absolutely NEED is the ability to turn off the auto orbiting.

Well, I'm glad you like it and since you mentioned orbiting at least a dozen times I will add an option to disable it in the next version. As for getting stuck, the program will try a "CTRL-SPACE" workaround after a few minutes of getting stuck and not warping to station.

I'm afraid it won't reconnect if EVE gets disconnected though since I don't want people to enter their personal details in ANY macro out there.

I was using Tinyminer all afternoon without a problem so far. I use a couple other macro mining programs but they either don't outright work or their abundance of features bugs up the macros.

That seemingly small change to the program will make it perfect for me hey. Thanks VanGogh.

I bought a brand new computer today and your program is the only one that works on it without drama. I havn't run your program for extended amounts of time yet.

I will run it tonight and see if it can run a whole day without a problem.

Yeh that's fair enough about passwords and reconnecting. I really wanted the most basic macro a person could possibly make. One with as little as possible that can go wrong during the day. This definitely looks perfect.

It's funny that I actually want a program with as few features as possible but after a few years of running macros, less is more, I find.

Version 1.40 is out with a couple of options regarding ICE mining (no orbiting and all lasers on the same asteroid). Please don't forget to leave positive feedback. Thank you.
