I feel like players should be able to assume the risk of leaving a ship on autopilot to mine minerals until the cargo hold is full in the same way that players are allowed to set the autopilot to travel across systems at the risk of being ganked at warp gates. While this would make it easier for people to afk play the game, it would also open up a lot of pvp interaction for those seeking it.

Gotta love those people who want to ‘Play’ but not actually play a game.
