Mining vs Trading - Pinko - 10-31-2009

I just want to know if the new Mining mod made people change their way to make cash.


Mining vs Trading - Zukeenee - 10-31-2009

Oooh.... ummmm... errr...


Can I choose both?

Mining Is: in Groups.
Not Dissimilar from trading, execept pirates know where you are so they can order you to drop your cargo.

Trading is: Solo
You buy your good instead of mining them.

If Anything, Mining is Somewhat less boring.

I'd mine.....If I knew any good spots. I haven't mined since 4.84 when I started



Mining vs Trading - Cannon - 10-31-2009

I like pirating and so I like both miners and traders.

Don't like actually doing trading or mining but if I really had to pick, I'd go for mining because it's more of a group sport in my somewhat biased opinion. I'll be happy if I never shoot a rock again.

I like hauling for miners. Its more profitable, and its always a group activity.

That's the core to it, its a group activity, which is, quite simply, brilliant.

speaking of which, can I get a commodity exchange going with a phantom, wilde, nomad, or SCRA fellow? Again with the teamwork/group activity in the trading. Its just so much better to have(and need) a partner

I think Trading better.

But add "Missions" because there are peoples that doing missions at BS's to have money. (Most of them corsairs)


Mining vs Trading - BillG8s - 10-31-2009



None of them. The most fun way to gain cash, according to me, is to hunt BHG destroyers (alot of em).


Mining vs Trading - mith - 10-31-2009

Poll needs a "Other" option...

Mining for me though - trading gets annoying, whereas playing 3D asteroids does not.


Mining vs Trading - kindred - 10-31-2009

I do neither. However I pirate both often. So you need a third option, being both.

If i did have to pick one, I'd go with smuggling. I prefer the quiet backroads with one or two others in formation to chat the time away.
