Anytime you have an external program controlling vendetta, you are explicitly violating the TOS.

If you think mining XP is bad, and wish you could get all the mining beams some other way, then post a suggestion. Don't cheat.

I can show you some ores and techniques that will speed up your XP gain faster than scripting anyways.

well I meant that the buttons are the ingame equivalents of a person holding the flightstick and doing the moves in reality.

I do not like the option of making a roll without actually having to use these abovementioned controlls in any way.

PS: not to be a blistering fool but is TOS = terms of service?
PPS: now that was a better post ananzi :D
PPPS: solra, yeah but when you do crazy stuff like I sometimes do like looking at the tv while botting or while cruizing through space with as a result hitting an asteroid. Or sometimes just even afk-ing it has the effect of draining your credits :D. But yes if you like being poor, then that is your choice, but I like having a nice apple for the thirst (don't know if this expression holds in english"having some kind of lifesavings for deerer times")

I have heard a lot of people talk about how mining ships and trade ships should have no weapons.

In a sector with low-level bots like Artemis Collector, it is very handy for some of the escorts to jump back to station and return with mining ships with 1 gun.... This is because after the initial bot clear-out, there is not much for escorts to do. But Collectors do jump up out of nowhere every minute or so, so its good for the miners to have a gun or two to defend themselves.

Personally, I'd like to see some of both, where some ships would be extremely vulnerable, but have advantages for mining or trading (more specialized mining slots, higher cargo capacity), and other ships that are better able to defend themselves, but at not as capable for mining or trading. There's plenty of 'roid sectors with no bots at all, so you could easily get away with out having weapons or escorts.
