The problem was, when the new expansion was released, its now made it harder to near impossible to macro. For mining in partiular, there is no way of selecting asteriods as the scanner no longer picks them up.
So currently all mining macros are dead if they are based on the scanning system. I have tested one method of working around that and it has failed
Most good macros like the MaxCote is based on colour, but without the scanner you cannot target anything apart from ships and containers.
The attempt i have made was to scan the screen for certain colours, but this will not work for everyone, this is due to the space colour and asteriod colour being different every time you go to a new sector. I can only develop it for myself and the area which i am mining in at the time. I havent perfected this yet which is why it has failed but it is possible still to use mining macros, its just that you have to setup the colours yourself which most people wont want to do.
I am still looking for other methods instead of this...
