Questions and suggestions
First of all, amazing work... Took me a while to figure out how to work with scripts because honestly, im a newbie on SE... But currently i have 5 atmospheric miners and 1 mining some asteroids...
Some times there are some accidents or maybe bugs of the game which cause them to crash.
The one the happens the most, the ship keeps saying its too full so it just stops at its current position and doesn't move until i go there and remove some of the weight manually.
I changed the behavior to load only 20% and still get the same issue sometimes...
The other reason (probably the main) for my ships to appear crashed, i have meteor active on the server.... So i might have to add some defense capabilities to the ships... But thats my problem..

One of the suggestions i had, (if its not already implemented and i just dont know about it)
is the ability to save paths. For example, i program a ship to follow a certain path, but for some reason i lose it (get attacked, destroyed, etc), i can still load the path from the previous ship to that one, instead of setting it up from scratch...

This is helpfull on some occasions because i got a few miners going over 50km for certain minerals..

Anyways, great job and thanks for all the updates, fixes and help you provide.

Does it display the current ship load correctly or does it permanently show "Load: 0%" ?
If so then update your pam version please.

The script doesn't have the function to save a path. But there is a little workaround for that.
You can create a blueprint each time you want to "save" the current path, job & settings. If the ship was destroyed then re-build the blueprint. The PB should have the old data then.
