You still won’t mine a damn thing because your drones will take forever and a day to get back and forth to the asteroid. For someone with that setup, I will gladly bump them 1,000 km out of the belt. They still won’t mine a single damn piece of ore…

If it pays well, I’m in. At least I would be more useful than your idea. You want depth? Ok then…
HELL NO. I am perfectly happy sitting in my Orca (not afk) mining my paltry 1192 m3 per minute a couple times a month in order to keep my ammo count up, and I don’t want to have to keep moving it from the cargo hold to the ore hold every time the drones return…and I can’t imagine a full time miner would ever want to do that either. That is asinine.
As for this part, are you talking about the command burst? Are you really asking that CCP change it so that only the Orca can affect drones with command bursts? That has been asked to death. Ain’t gonna happen. That would make it mine way too fast for CCP to ever agree to that, and they have stated that repeatedly.
Why should I go any deeper into an idea that you haven’t given adequate thought to? It has been 3 days, and I hope you have ironed out the kinks, as you said you wanted to do.
So…got a better one yet?

by the way, currently hauling fit orca is only way to move large size citadel (like Fortiza) info C4<= wormholes as their size is 80000m^3 and doesn’t fit in DST (and cargo extender doesn’t work on them as fleet hanger doesn’t effected by it.) and freighters cannot enter any wormhole that isn’t capital size.
Just make a program that hits a random key every 4 minutes.
I love people who think of simple solutions to complex problems…
If it’s simple and nobody else found the solution, it’s because you got the problem wrong.
I would consider this problem solved as NPC Joint ops can now warp in and lock your Orca, scram it and destroy it. Unfortunately I was not paying attention for 3 minutes…
I did not know that NPC mining can attack you first. Like I warped to empty belt, did not attacked any ships except pirates, but maybe Angel Cartel and Joint Harvesting are now blue…
looks like you were negative with the faction. What’s your standing with amarr ? if it’s <-2 you are KoS by joint harvesting diamonds , even if you have +10 with them.
Of course I’m negative with Amarr. I’m Minmatar citizenship, not slave. But I was mining in Minmatar space. Just don’t understand how hostile forces can fly towards Minmatar space kill me without any response fleet from Minmatar Navy. What is than purpose of doing NPC missions towards one Faction / race?
Does the minmatar navy help you when you are shooting angels in a deadspace ?
Does the minmatar navy help you if a Blood fob is in system ?
Why would the matar navy help you shoot or get shot by amarrian slavers ?
well if you have an issue moving from cargo to ore bay when you are already playing the game actively then that’s YOUR issue. if the 3 APM is too much for you then i suggest getting a mouse.
No make the boost effect the drones as well as fleet…
It wouldn’t be OP the yield does not change just the speed you get ore gets faster. its a minor buff.
you seem really negative and bitter and havent offered anything to this thread yet.
i dont work for CCP its just an idea to make the game better open your mind and contribute or just be a negative lemon and whine when CCP fucks your game up.
No, those are rats. Everybody knows how rat mechanic works. Angels are red, Blood fobs are red, even Trigs are red. Joint ops is not red.
I was just arguing that navy may not help you anyhow - only if they hate some capsuleer.
Did you submit a bug report ? I actually agree that the situation should not happen - There should not be mining ops from a faction that does not hold the sov, Also in your case jointharvesting NPCs should be red.
I see, my bad 
It was more less frustration / crying 
I submitted ticket towards support, I hope CCP will pick it up and provide some reasonable solution or explanation. Hopefully it will not be anything like ‘Caused by AI, CCP has no control over AI behaviour’
That’s likely to happens, still the goal is not to get them to undo past, but rather to have different points on the same potential issue.
Maybe you’re not the fist one whom that happens, and maybe other people left the game silently, disgusted by such a broken mechanism.
Your opinion (even if it may look stupid) can be worth for people who are actually interested in general comprehension.
Joint Harvesting of the same faction as pirates reacts on pirate attacks as well. Was super scared by that.
Joint Harvesting of the same faction as pirates reacts on pirate attacks as well.
I have to admit I don’t know in detail how faction relationship is working, but are Angels and Amars in the same faction?
Was that Amarr harvesting?
In my experience, Guristas harvesting fleet reacted upon destroying Guristas pirates, but various Caldari corp fleets did not.
Might be worth submitting a bug report.
Yes, joint harvesting is amarr corp, and have some stations in minmatar space.
Was that Amarr harvesting?
Well I was harvesting. Belt was empty. But after while Ammarian BS arrived and attacked me. I did not initiated attack. I make ticket to support, but nobody picked it up.
