Question about Miner ID

[Hielor]

It's also good to keep in mind that Freelancers have the freedom to mine wherever they please, in essence. If a field goes dry, you can relocate to another system entirely. Most factioned pilots don't have that option, and it doesn't take long until things are fully mined out.

You can do this just as well with a mining faction -- each has several places that they can mine. Plus, relocating a miner is a giant waste of money, if you want the possibility to mine elsewhere you're better off having another character already in the system.
