No, I use a Scythe and as long as you have over 10 belts to select from you don't move from belt to belt too much. The typical scenario is you warp to a belt, it sees rats in the 1st check and immediately warps to another belt, check rats, repeat till no rats found. Once mining cycle is complete it will return to that same belt and continue mining unless rats appear. It works fairly well. I do outfit with a full load of expanders though
Drone deployment is not being considered due to the current unpredictablity of drone actions.
Shield boost and armor repair are both inlcuded in the macro but ship type limits there use. The general consensus is that armor repair is the way to go since it gives the most repair with the least loss of energy/cap.
Still, my biggest issue is the macro not recognizing a attack, which results in ship loss. We have rat detection to look at the top target icons, the overview icons and the shield/armor bars in the hud and yet it is still unreliable.
I can mine for over a week 23/7 if I'm in 1.0/.8 space with little or no rats but let me drop to a .7 or lower and I will surely die within 2 days. Frustating and yet kudos to CCP for making it hard, because simply put if everyone had a macro like this that DID work perfectly then game would be ruined.
