ore mined with /msg capshipname mine does not count for badge

May 28, 2021 DeathSpores link
When you mine an asteroid by pulling mining beam trigger with a capship equipped with a mining beam the ore collected counts towards the mining badge.
When you mine remotely an asteroid with the command /msg capshipname mine, the ore collected is not counted for the mining badge.
Is it an expected limitation?

I mean, your cap ship is mining, not you. Soooo

I hadn't really thought about it, specifically, but it seems like a reasonable limitation?

yep but it's kinda biased,
Example 1) if i shoot with a ship in nfz then my capship will be attacked as myself.
Example 2) if my capship kills the unrat dent then the dent kill counts toward my trident hunter badge.

I mean, the faction standing thing is obvious to avoid otherwise inherent exploits.

The question is more, should we make it not count Trident kills, if that's inconsistent. There's nothing here that's "biased".

The mining badge is intended for direct user mining, originally, not more automated systems. It seems a bit outside the original intent of the badge to make autonomous capship mining count towards it.
