So this program will mine random belts a random number of times, defend itself with drones and shield boosters, can be used with any ship in any system, reset mining lasers at specified intervals of time, support gang mining in a fleet, and isn't a collection of scripts to use with MacroExpress?

A: Yes. And it will re-aquire another asteroid as they pop, too.

Mind if I ask what made you come up with this? I hadn't seen anyone ask about it in other posts.

Well TinyMiner really does all that. The text itself, with minor modifications, is borrowed from somewhere else. If you look at the date, I was still at the beginning building up some content so I thought it would bring a nice touch. I still think that.

So, you borrowed it from another miner?

Of course, I wouldn't borrow it from the White House web site now would I? In fact I used other topics from the MineX forums as a source of inspiration as well. I always thought that imitations can often become better than the original.

I mean I paid for MineX and it failed to work in a reasonable manner. The very least it could do was help me start my own forums. Anyway this conversation is getting further away from the subject at hand. So is there anything else I can help you with? Do you wish to purchase the product or are you happy with your current mining program? Or maybe you are not happy with it and you're looking for sources of inspiration to create your own program like I did?
