They're called 'roid bandits for a reason you lazy bum...
Now drop that donut and get a blastin.
I usually ignore the roid bandits until there's around 10 or so...then I epulse them.
But then I don't use a macro to mine...only takes me around 5 minutes to fill up a 1550 hold.

I usually ignore the lower tier asteroid bandits until I have finished with the asteroidchunk that caused them to spawn. Then I spend 30 seconds or less taking them out. I keep one level 9 blaster in my Rhix when I mine so I can still one shot them.

I don't mind the roid bandits really. Now that my Krayt is a big mining ship, it's nice having those level 5's drop by when I'm mining. It keeps me from getting bored, and besides a few credits and a part or two never hurt anyone.

Ok, why are you bothering with Tier 1 asteroid bandits? If your mining ship doesn't have at least a Type IV shield and a computer/droid capable of capshunting, reach up and slap yourself, get so equipped, and IGNORE THEM!!!
The ONLY miners that have any reason to grouse would be those working Yavin, Dantooine, Dathomir, Endor and Kessel.

the tier 1 and 2s dont hurt me, but they screw up my hotkeys; that's why i hate them.
when i break off a chunk, i use /target asteroid and it targets the chunk, then i blow it up into smaller chunks and use /target asteroid to target the smaller chunks so i can get them all.. however if there are bandits around (even 3km away) then /target asteroid will not target the chunks.

What, ignore them? No way, that's my only chance for space loot while mining. I use 2 Mark 3 mining lasers w/ Quickshot. Kills bandits dead. Without bandits mining would be even MORE boring.

I plan on waiting until pub 24, then get the elite shields on the Y-8 and just ignore them.

Personally, I'm with you. I don't macro-mine. I have an X-Wing with a Mark III and two Mark IIs. Sounds like an artillery corps sounding off, but damned if those little Tier1/2 buggers don't go out with a BANG!!
