The primary module of GhostSuite is the mining module. It has extensive features that set it apart from other mining bots available. The basic setup is fast and easy for a pilot of any skill level.  We also provide advanced configuration settings which gives the ability to completely change the UI to suit your needs.  This could be simply making a custom layout for other monitor resolutions, change placement of windows or adjust click points.

You can set it up so that it will not mine in a belt that has more than X other pilots in it, when the miner arrives. This feature allows a user to mine in busier systems and still be able to maintain some seclusion, while mining.

Another feature of the Mining Bot module, allows the user to determine how many asteroids are left in the belts, before going to the next. They can also set up a random variance from X to Y runs before GhostSuite changes belts, as well as take a break and sit idle, or log off.

While a few of the other macro miners require the user to make bookmarks around the belts in the system. GhostSuite doesn’t. The only bookmark you need to run GhostSuite is the station you want it to unload in. The program will make its own bookmarks for the ore that you have it mining. It’ll delete them and make new bookmarks as needed. However, if your mining ice, GhostSuite will never delete the bookmark you create, as long as you select the Mining Ice option. This allows you to create a bookmark in a sweet spot, that’s away from the other miners, so that you aren’t in a big group of ships when they come in to try and gank the hordes of macro’s that always seem to be together at one end of the belt, or the other.

The current settings for the Mining Module:

• · Gate Mining

• · Use Jetcan

• · Mine Per Belt

• · Ice Mining

• · Abandon Wrecks

• · Visit belts in order

• · Select new belt every… runs

• · Crowed Limit…

• · Cycle lasers every… Sec

• · Create bookmark only if … asteroids remain

Gate Mining:

By selecting this checkbox and then designating the system, you can tell GS to mine a specific system by going through a stargate. This feature allows a player to mine systems that do not have stations, or a Corp. POS.. It may provide the miner with absolute seclusion, in that there may not be another player in that system. However, if you’re not using the hauler, you may find that your net yield drops, as it takes more time to travel through the gates -vs- just returning to a station to unload.

Jetcan-mining:

This is a controversial aspect of macro mining. A lot of pilots in EVE, believe that anyone that jetcans, is a mining bot. They tend to start flipping cans to provoke a response from the miner and if they don’t respond, they now have easy access to reporting you as a mining macro and may just end up steeling your ore all day. However, if you have a second pilot that can run one of the larger industrial transports or an Orca, you can have the ore picked up on demand, by utilizing the Hauler Module in GhostSuite with an extra pilot and the module enabled.

Mine Per Belt:

This is utilized when you are not using mining crystals. What it does, is it tells GhostSuite to mine each or in each belt in the order that you set them. It will go through “Asteroid 1” in each belt, before starting to look at “Asteroid 2”. If you want to only mine 1 specific ore, then you would place a 0 in the 2^nd through 5^th views. But by doing so, you don’t need to select Mine Per Belt.

Ice Mining:

Ice Mining removes the ability for GhostSuite to mine any other belt that isn’t an Ice Belt, in EVE. It also disables the programs ability to delete and create the bookmark (as long as the OCR is working correctly.)

With this option selected, should the ice-roid pop by some slim chance, GS will not delete your bookmark. This feature allows you to create a bookmark in your own little spot in the belt, away from the ends, so that you are not surrounded by massive numbers. This helps in not getting ganked when they are trying to kill as many mackinaws as they can with smart-bombs.

By selecting this feature, it also disables GS from cycling the equipment.

Abandon Wrecks:

This selectable box, allows GS to automatically abandon the wrecks from the rats that it kills, if you give it drones to utilize to kill them. This sets them to blue, which allows anyone to tractor and loot them, without having them try to convo you, to ask if they can. This eliminates one more reason, for a player to try and contact you in game.

Visit belts in order:

By selecting this checkbox, GS will sort the belts by name and mine them a-> z, instead of in a random order.

Select new belt every x to y runs:

This item allows you to tell GS to mine each belt a random number of runs between the desired runs, before selecting the next belt to mine.

Crowd limit:

By setting this number, you can determine how many other pilots can be in the belt when it first arrives. Before the mining bot starts it will check how many other pilots are in the asteroid belts, if the number of ships in the belt is equal to or higher, the bot will delete the bookmark and move on to the next belt. This feature allows the player to start mining in a belt that isn’t already populated, or to leave if mining operation fleet arrives.

Cycle lasers every x to y Seconds.

There has been a bit of controversy over this particular aspect of the program. While cycling the equipment may cut down on wasting time on a roid that’s almost empty of minerals, while using multi-clients, the current design may waist time by flipping between windows. This being said, there can be advantages to using this feature, in that it adds a more random time frame to the actions of the program.

Create bookmark only if more the x asteroids remain:

If you are not into stripping an asteroid belt completely void of a particular type, you can designate a number in this box which tells GS to ignore any belt that has less than the desired number of asteroids.

This particular feature can be useful on belts where you have asteroids that have vast spaces between them, leaving only 1 roid in range of your equipment.

Another feature to the mining preferences’ that has its own tab is mining to a POS.

By selecting this feature, GS can unload to the Corporate Hanger at a POS. It is also how you tell GS that you are in a wormhole mining.

However, if you are using this tab, please be sure to adjust the bookmark locations on the PnP tab, to insure that GS is going to utilize the correct location.

With all of the options for the mining module in GhostSuite, when it comes to personalizing the way that the program works in EVE online, GS is simply the best EVE Online mining bot available. No other program offers so many robust user adjustable features/options.
