[0.33.4] Please improve AI navigation through asteroids

[TacticalMaster]

I have an NPC hauler visiting one of my Oil Rig stations, but it seemed to be standing there and not moving for some reason. I try to think it could be some "bug" but how do I explain this? So I believed that the asteroids were in the way, but despite that the docks would push them away to make space, the NPC hauler was still standing there. So I begun removing the asteroids myself, which was an arduous task given that I can't get my AI ships to destroy/remove empty asteroids. After awhile, the hauler was able to move normally and was able to dock in my station to buy commodities. But now it has to move a few meters away from my station to warp and the asteroids were in the way again. So I had to go through the process of removing the asteroids again. All in all, the AI pathfinding was the problem here...

 

So that's why I ask to improve the AI navigation through an asteroid field. Or, at the very least, help improve removal of asteroids near mining stations.

 

Here's a screenshot of the situation before I fixed it through removing asteroids.

I have another screenshot. A similar situation. Still in [0.33.5].

Here's yet another indecisive hauler, compared to my one-square-sized randomly generated mining ship.

make simple long stick with dock on end , or push away asteroid

Yeah, but I think many of us would rather the ships actually being able to path through the fields.
