I've been mining in Dublin with a friend of mine for a while. The mining wasn't all that much fun, although I bet it could have been - but crossing all the Bretonia, Rheinland and Omega systems was the most challenging and most fun - all we had was a mining ship and my Mafic. It would be great if there was something like Hydrocarbons to mine in Omega-3. Though the system is already busy anyway.
Only thing I noticed about Omega-7 - it has always been one of the smallest, if not the smallest system in Sirius. Sometimes the mining fields - I think the Daumann ones - are quite close to the station. So with some cheap armor upgrade and the usual motherload of repair kits it's easy to run to safety from groups of up to 3 pirates because of the epic amount of armor and short running distance.

Far as I know, you can. Great yield, but really risky considering the BMM's proximity to the O-5 hole. Profit for the hydrocarbons is so-so, but it's a quick five minute jaunt in the field and you've got a full load
What's funny is that the risk is even less considering that corsairs coming into omega 3 will be even more surprised and confused to see mafics zipping around than the miners would be to see the corsair..
I've been thinking a lot about the mining mod lately and figuring out how it can be improved in a positive fashion which enhances the possibility of good times within Disco.
The mining mod is more in an advanced alpha stage. Myself, Cannon and Blodo are working on the Beta.
Well, Cannon is mostly just sitting there looking smart and Blodo is lying to me that things are getting done while I sit on my arse delegating to no one. But that's a kind of progress.
Hopefully the beta will clear up a lot of the issues that have cropped up in the alpha. The Omegas have some issues, a lot of them bug related following the move which is hurting the region. Others are mod related, due to 7 being way too small.
I like the Taus, but there aren't many people out there.
The Dublin thing is nice, but the fallout from it is that all of the Kusari players are in Bretonia. Kusari is sort of suffering again from lonely heart syndrome.
Hydrocarbons and stuff like that will need to wait. People in Bretonia aren't even mining Beryllium, don't need to add yet another commodity.
GMG, ALG need some love. Somewhere after that comes other groups.
More sale points need to be added.
Some systems need to be re-modded.
Some fields need to be removed. Almost entirely tiny vanilla fields which are nerfed, yet sit right outside bases so people squat them.
They make less money, but it's boring to fly up to one and watch them quickdock. Then, LO, a battleship appears. Usually working for the Order.
Anyways, glad people are having fun. Keep the feedback coming. Positive makes me feel good and work harder, constructive negative feedback makes me feel angry and rage quit.

Nah, in fact, the miners are nice, very nice even. Having 30M in a single shot is enjoyable.
Oh and give the GMG some work ! I want them to mine (and get pirated of course). If not, I vote for renaming the GMG to the GG (Gas Guild) cause they DON'T mine !
Yea I am agree with Grimly about the GMG, it is a strange they are miner Guild and they don't mine? It really need a fix, they must be able to mine some Gases in Sigma's even if they can be not so profitable like Gold, Sliver or Niobium. :wacko:
About the Omega 11 you are the boss of the Sails, Just take 2 bombers with your transport and you will eat miners alive:yahoo:.
I am happy with Dublin too.Even for the Mercs is very good spot,we charge 13 mill for one of our escort ships, for example for 3 escorts - bomber,fighter and Gunboat we charge 39 Mill with that force we protect two trains with Ore, the miners are happy we are happy too,except for some lone pirates in our way ;).
I want to use the channel in order to ask if SCRA have some agreement with the Molly's because they attacked us once pretending that they work for the Molly's but in their id is written that they cannot ally with them and that they cannot demand cargo from the transports (miners are transports too).

Hmmm adding ore selling locations might be useful, although it was quite interesting to take copper ore from Dresden to Texas. I must admit it bugged me a bit that no [RM] ship tried to stop me from exporting it to Liberty.
Hey dusty, I remember a recent discussion about improving freighters, how about adding more mining freighters? I think they might give a nice compromise between long-time mining in a hegemon and long-time flying in a spatial/mafic. Please? :)
And about Hydrocarbons and improving Taus, I think the Nago field already drops them. Is there no way to just work on that? Not sure about the yields though, my Samura doesn't like to get to close to Kishiro bases;)
But yes, the mining brought us quite some fun, so kudos to the two guys who are keeping your working on it:D

People are the ones that don't understand certain issues.
Guys that are mining there? Did you even read your ID? Do you realize that Kruger and Daumann can take ore from Miner ID players in omega 7, as well as from BMM and IMG?
It's called ore war. It's the similar thing to what Kishiro and Samura have in Bretonia with Bowex and BMM.
It saddens me that people are still doing the one.wrong.thing.
They are creating characters for money and characters to play with.
We made two Daumanns last night and we had so much fun in omegas, stopping all the BMM and IMG and those Miner ID mining ships - mining in omegas. The ores there belong to Rheinland corporations (from their point of view)
Admins made a nice system where everyone can be a good guy and a bad guy with the same character. People just need that carved into their thick skulls.
Also: yields in omega 7? Are you kidding me. Those fields are amazing. We filled up with 500 ore without mining ship or mining turrets in about... 5 minutes. Distance is quite alright.
@ Nago field in Taus. Problem is we dont get a mining yield bonus on those fields and thats a real shame. Nago pays well for hydros.

thanks for that hint:)
Wonder if my cute lil shuttle is enough to take on those ore thieves:crazy:
Hmmm now it makes sense to me that the "Mining Fighters" all have a CD/T slot
