Unlawfull mining

[Wraga]

Unfortunately guys... this is gameplay over roleplay. I understand your points about unlawful mining, but in order to keep mining corps alive (which are quite crucial to maintaining the cycle of miner -> pirate -> lawful in areas that are meant to thrive on mining - like Rheinland or Tau-23) they need to have greater bonuses to mining than unlawfuls. This is actually done not just to prop up the corporate factions, but also as a certain balance as unlawfuls can sit in space and mine surrounded by their gunboats and fighters (to which corps don't have that much access to, they need to beg a navy faction to come help them which generally has other stuff on its hands elsewhere) where they are pretty much impervious to harm. And then they can also pirate other miners in the vicinity. I think a halved mining bonus for the unlawfuls that do have it is quite all right...

After all I do want lawful corps to exist so I can go and bother them on my unlawfuls:P

Fair enough
