Several Issues I've noticed

[Silver Serpentine]

While I am mining I do not have distributed mining checked yet I am still targeting two rocks(one that gets two lasers the other gets one). As well while I am mining I've been attacked by rats and the bot hadn't done anything so my shield kept getting attacked. The minute my shield takes any damage my shield booster activates until my shield is 100% or my capacitor runs out, which then I keep getting the message your capacitor is empty for the entire time until the bot goes back to the station. My settings shouldn't be having all those issues happening, so whats going on? Now it keeps trying ot mine while my cargo hold is full... It also isn't choosing the best ore in the belt I'm at. I set my Mining Range Multipler(multiplier?) to 1000 so I'm positive a rock 30km away would be chosen over the rock that isn't as good thats 8km.

You're using the stable evebot, right?

My biggest suggestion is to use light drones while mining (4-5 light drones) and then you don't have to worry about anything (in high sec anyway.)

Holy crap. Try the key with "Enter" on it once in a while.

1) Check distributed lasers. Otherwise you're wasting cycles.
2) That's what it does. It activates defenses, period. If your cap runs out from your defenses, your ship is insufficient for the rats. You can try fitting combat drones, they will auto-respond if in space.
3) Your definition of 'best' and 'isn't as good' might not match someone else. Modify the ore order in the config file in evebot/config by reordering the lines.
4) Mining range multipler of 1000 means your ship will slowboat 1000 * laser range. Needless to say, it's far too much.

I only want to mine one rock because it will give me more ore from that specific rock(say it was the better type such as dense veldspar) in case other people are mining that rock as well. So I do not see why I'm mining two rocks at once when I didn't choose to have that happen. I've got 3 light scout combat drones with me which do not attack the rats when they appear half the time. I also have a missile launcher that still will not attack rats when they are with in range of being hit with it . My ship can handle being hit by rats for quite a while so I know it can handle them. My booster just will keep going regardless of my shield HP which gets annoying because its being extremely inefficient that way and wastes capacitor. I only set my mining range to 1000 to test to see if it would choose something better than what it kept choosing. Edit: holy crap you ever hear of a keyboard whose enter key doesn't work? Edit2; I am using the stable version of evebot.edit3; I did get the ore thing figured out thanks to a member here whom I don't know his username on here(have him on msn) told to me disable strip mine and now I'm selecting the better rocks around me

Both of them? How do you start isxeve or evebot?

Not checking distribute doesn't mean they will not be distributed. it means they won't be forced distributed.

Not distributing means if an asteroid has less than 1 laser cycle of ore, you lose 2.x cycles of laser time (6+ minutes), instead of just 0.x cycles of laser time. Unless you're mining something so massive (such as ice) that it's unlikely to pop, it's pretty silly not to distribute.

If the drones are in space when the rats first attack you, they will respond, if you've configured them to do so in the EVE ui. that's entirely up to CCP, evebot does nothing with them except launch them.

A properly configured mining ship/char will never run out of cap; even if you're running your booster full time. Unless you're using one of the lower level mining ships, in which case running from rats is something you'll have to accept once in a while.

Who said my enter key didn't work ;-) But you shouldn't always assume ones keyboard is fully functional. Such as if you implemented a function that used the Windows key, my keyboard couldn't actually use that(Old IBM model M keyboard). But thanks for a little elaboration on what I was having issues with. But how come my missle launcher isn't being used when rats come around? My ship I'm using for mining right now is a Osprey fitted with 3 mining laser, a medium shield booster, missle launcher, and a cap booster. The rats only hit me for 15 hp and my shield booster heals 68 hp. A suggestion the shield booster is supposed to used this way is the let users set when their booster will be used because when I'm using 60 capacitor to heal 68 hp when I'm only being hit for 15 hp isn't very good. If I was to set it I would choose like 50% shield or something depending on where I was mining.
Edit: "Both of them? How do you start isxeve or evebot?" On the computer running the bot I only have one enter key(laptop)
