How is the breaking speed on your mining ship? I had this same problem before where I had a ship with decent forward thrust (about 100m/s) and good turning speed in all directions but terrible break speed (about 4m/s). The ship would mine when I was in sector but as soon as I left it would do nothing. I was really frustrated until I tried using the ship my self and wanted to be able to reverse. I whacked up the breaking speed to 50m/s did some mining and then when I was done gave the ship a mine order just for the hell of it, low and behold it kept mining when I was out of sector. I think that maybe out of sector mining uses break speed as part of a calculation for travel time between asteroids or some other action.
