I have no complaint against that particular group. I do not believe I have encountered them yet.

If they RP, then great!

I demand 100% of cargo on principle.

No damn Kusari is nicking Bretonian gold on my watch!

Yaaaaaaaaaar!

Give them more time. Maybe the community needs half a year to grow into your (and cannons) great mining mod.

Idiocy and blind spots. Hidden features for veteran players. Inform yourself here|Codenames and their locations

Man, I had doubts about Miners being selfish, but, jeez, they are. I contacted 3 people on my Gateway about moving Ore for them, and I was rejected three times, even by the IMG miners who I am supposed to be a primary shipper for! I was offering more than half the profit, and when I move something alone directly from the source, I personally think that the increase in profit is huge! Really, now, c'mon! It's no detriment to me, since I can always just trade terraforming gases and profit very well, but, what about the RP there? This is really disconcerting...

Baconsoda is you ever see me ingame ( IMG|Simon.Thomas) ill be more than happy to work with you. I spent some time looking for escorts/shippers earlier , but sadly failed.

HOWEVER, I think this system will right itself- and this new mining system will be fantastic. The RP possibilities are incredible.

I draw the line of being nice to miners before that mark.
YAR HAR HAR.

The best thing to do is set up some shared ships with a friend.

Two miners, a 5k transport, and an escort.

Both of you fill the 5k with your miners, then one of you escorts the transport to your destination.

With more people, other options are available.

You split the profits, and can avoid robbery.

Markam and I have tested this a bit, and are rolling in credits now.

I never request more than 1000 ore from a transport.

Any more than 1000 is just obscene.

I can't consolidate asking for less than the whole load with my roleplay. I've tried, but so far the best option is to demand it all, then call a friend to come pick up the ill gotten gains in some sort of big boat.
