Bobby AI not activating

[ooouuuuuii]

So I was trying to build mining drones for SP. I set up the AI to <ship> and <any> and activated it. It didn't move at all. I have the AI block in the front if it needs to "see". Is there any way to make the AI work?

Thanks in advance.

The mining ship needs to be in a fleet. The first ship doesn't mine so you need to add the mining drones as well as the first ship to a fleet. Then order them to mine the sector they are in. You might need to order the fleet to the correct sector first. Adding the drones to a fleet should activate the bobby AI and set it to fleet. Note that fleet mining is somewhat buggy last time I attempted it. I usually form the fleet then force save then restart the game. After that I might be able to get fleet mining to work.

I run my mining drones on fleet commands. There does not seem to be a need in the current release to equip miners with Bobby AIs, so I only use them on combat ships.
