Sensible Miners

Description
What it does:
It changes the asteroid selection logic to the L/XL mining ships to a more "logistically sensible" fashion. No more leaving the small pieces behind.

How does it work:
First some context. The vanilla script always selects the largest asteroid within 3KM as next main target. If none are found, pick a random asteroid within 75KM, If none are found there -> move in a random direction...

Anywho, this mod does this:
Short range scan (1KM), find smallest asteroid. (Mainly to avoid wandering too far off)
Medium range scan (3KM), find smallest asteroid.
Long range scan (75KM), find closest asteroid.
Long long range scan (150KM), find closest asteroid.
Over that -> give up and move in a random direction...

Why not M ships as well:
They are are a bit better in vanilla - similar code as the L/XL's but they go for the smallest ones, and are slow moving - so my mod did not add much there.


If you use the Fedhelm, i really recommend looking into this mod by eBaracuda: http://www.nexusmods.com/xrebirth/mods/420

The game slows and freezes when you install the mod version 4.30
If someone took and updated this mod, I would be glad.

when the miner is searching for asteroids the game freezes for 10 seconds, without this mod all works fine.

true pikachu... try this one it busts the empty stuff and runs a little different.

Is it possible to get the ships to automatically destroy empty asteroids as well? DV.GT.4 currently puts me at about 2FPS due to the huge number of tiny asteroids (note that I have not run this mod yet).
