Hello.

I'v just bought 5 small mining ships with 3 mining drone each.
I'v assign 4 of the small mining ships to the first one. now no1 is the superior.
I ask no1 to gather resources.
all 5 ships go to the location.
Only no1 mining and the other escort him...

How can i make them mine too. after i gave to the superior the order to mine?

In vanilla, you can't make a mining wing/fleet - that's only really for military escorting (and even that doesn't really work.) You'll need to keep an eye on them and manage them manually (adding them to your squad will give you "louder" reporting on their activities, but whenever they finish mining they'll come to you, which can be a good thing sometimes, or a terrible one if you are in combat at the time.)

As far as I know, both YAT2 and autotraders come with options for mining ships.

He didn't discuss it, he answered a question rather than say "dude you need to go look elsewhere for that information, coz the mods don't allow cross forum discussions".

@ rafezetter: The OP asked about the availability of specific-purpose mods which is something that generally leads on to 'discussion' of various 3rd party mods and scripts. Hence we prefer that they do the initial asking in the relevant S&M forum where the modders and mod-users are more likely to be browsing than our vanilla players.

Leave the moderators to do the moderating, thanks awfully. :wink:
