This is a copy of a player request I just filed. I'm really not a fan of the "invisible request" system unless it pertains to individual characters, or in some other way legitimately requires privacy.
Because this request does neither, I'm posting a copy of it publicly as well.
Much like Junkers have done, I'd like to request an increased premium scrap mining bonus for ALG, for both ALG Waste Disposal ID and the official [ALG] Waste Disposal ID.
The reason is simple, as with Junkers it's the only ore commodity which we can currently mine, and should have a top-tier multiplier of 4.0 as other mining factions do with their primary ores.
Previously, the top tier bonus for Premium Scrap being 3.0 was compensated for by the abnormally high field density in Texas; now that the field is standardized the IDs affected, those being Junkers and ALG, should also have standardized drop bonuses for their primary (and only) ore.
I understand the Junker request already included mention of the adverse conditions in the field, with high radiation damage and reduced scanner range. I don't believe that to be a factor but take that as you will.
The fact that the primary ore of a faction, with standardized fields, does not have a standardized multiplier is enough of an argument in my mind.
with 4.0 bonus we only get 5-6 units per shot,so..i believe something is wrong with the field..perhaps someone who know how to set a bonus/field drop rate can look into it?
People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..

The field is perfectly fine.
With a 4.0 bonus, single mining laser, you'll get around 10 ore per rock. I've tested a number of fields for this and Pscrap in Texas is definitely standardized. Got 2998 units out of 300 rocks.
Old but gold. ALG also could use a bonus at Alu ore for the field in Munich. A 4x multiplier would make sense? Right now no Rheinland corp has the highest multiplier for Alu Ore. Which makes no sense with a field in Rheinland (Munich).
