Thread: Mining macro ^_^
I have 1 macro
Macro Name: get
/target asteroid;
/pause .4;
/follow;
/pause .4;
/target Petr; ====> or whatever the first 4 letters are of the asteroid type.
/macro get;
If there is no asteroid chunks or bandits around, it goes right back to the main asteroid.
I just shoot and use tractor beam. I only stop when the Bandits come.
Mine is simply:
/target asteroid;
/follow;
/ui action toolbarSlotXX;
This macro will automatically start chasing the big chunk as soon as it breaks off. I then blast the chunk with my mining laser a few more times and as soon as it blows I switch weapons to my tractor beam. This will clean up 80% of the chunks within 1 second and the few that are left automatically are lined up with my tractor beam for me to just pull in.
Once the chunks are gone, there's no need to switch macro's, hit the big one with the tractor beam(longer range)once and you'll target it and start flying at it again. switch back to mining laser and repeat.
When the bandits spawn, it then acts as an "alarm" and instantly targets them for me. Since you don't need something targeted to kill it in space, it doesn't matter when one flies close and you lose your target on the first one.
