Revised original proposal to suggest that a brand new commodity be introduced, Hydrocarbon mining to be disabled and replaced with mining fields for this new ore-style commodity known as Organic Compounds (Thanks BaconSoda for the cool name,) and for Hydrocarbons to remain as a tradeable commodity.

@Ceoran, noted, my mistake. However, I would like to suggest that Samura be given Organic Compound mining bonuses anyways, seeing as Hydrocarbon related products are so intigrated into Samura's overall supply chain within Sirius.

@BaconSoda, the proximity of the mining stations to the fields is very close in most cases, so I would suggest having a small active field within the larger inactive field, some distance away from the stations, similar to the Niobium field in Leeds. As for the risk - reward ratio, I would suggest that Organic Compound mining be balanced in regards to regular ore mining, but at the same time be a wholly unique expereince, diffrent from normal mining. To do this, I would suggest scaling Organic Compound mining such that it had a 30% higher droprate than normal ores, but a 45% lower sellprice than regular ores, and have all the rouits be Medium Short to Medium Long in range (As opposed to the current ore pricings, which are grouped into Short, Medium and Long range rouits only, with the Long rouit being vastly more profitable than any of the other rouits.) As such, Organic Compound mining would overall yield less profit per second than regular ore mining, but would have the benifit of being able to turn a full 5k in much less time, and possibly fill the same customer twice. It is my beleif that a higher yield, combined with shorter rouits and less profit, would lead to miners and transports spending less time sitting in a field, but spending more time in space overall, thus leading to a net increase in activity. I would like to stress that these balancing suggestions not be taken as part of the initial proposal, but as a side suggestion to the initial idea. I would like to see some sort of Hydrocarbon style mining implamented, even if it did not follow the balancing strategy I just laid out.

@ Hone, actually, with the Cross - Vandimeer Comet, O-3 actually does have a mining field now, but it is sadly underused. As for the IMG receiving Hydrocarbon mining bonuses, I have absolutly no idea what the IMG does in regard to Hydrocarbon mining and processing. I know for sure that Samura, Kruger and BMM (and Kishiro... Dunno why I forgot about them at first.) have a history of Hydrocarbon and Polymer processing, so that is why I proposed those factions get bonuses. However, if the IMG does have a basis for Hydrocarbon mining in server lore, I see no reason why they should not receive such bonuses. That being said, I would be very glad to see Hydrocarbon style mining implamented, no matter who gets the bonuses.

Let it burn.
