Fleet mining bug

[OfficialCoding]

I was fleet mining with multiple ships, and my ships doggedly refused to mine. Their inventories were not full, and i don't know what the problem is. Could someone help?

Did the drones work before? Can you share a blueprint of the drones so we can have a look?

Oh yeah they mine. And the salvage and storage are connected. I'm not gonna share a blueprint, but they used to fleet mine just fine and now they don't. They just sit still or spin like idiots until i tell them to idle.

How many outputs do they have? I find the drones tend to spin aimlessly when they have too many beams.

How many outputs is to many?

My smallish miner has maybe 20, but it fleet mined fine a couple months ago. When I tried to fleet mine last week, they just spun around. I think it is an issue with power 2.0. The miner is old power.

I have had issues with my mining fleet as well. If I jump into the location of the rocks it seems to work. However if I cross the sector boundary without using FTL it bugs out, won't respond at all to the "mine this sector" command. I've tried crossing the boundary in formation and with all the piggies docked, neither method improves the outcome. I'm wondering if there is a location reporting discrepancy.

It might be a bug with power 2.0. are your ships new power?

Yes, new power on the freaksrus server.

I have refitted one of my mining drones to new power and they do work. Fleet mining (as all fleet operations) is clunkier than it used to be however. I have found the move fleet command problematic where I send the mining fleet to a sector and issue the mine sector command as soon as the flagship was in the target area as I would normally do. The flagship will continue to move on in a random direction rather than just stop which they used to.
