Because of IMG's diplomacy it should have lower bonuses than house corporations, because house corporations have industrial and technological knowledge and backing of entire Houses to develop efficient mass-scale mining methods, something what small non-profit organisation is incapable of, because IMG mines low-yield fields that house corporations do not deem economically viable, because IMG has both good diplomacy AND same bonuses as house factions, what caused it's pointless to play as house miner now, house mining factions are dying.

Pavel had no idea how unequal competition between house miners and IMG is, and only recently noticed that from unknown / poorly explained reasons, IMG has same bonuses to many ores as house miners. Result is obvious, everybody can check what activity, playerbase and diplomacy IMG has, and what house corporations have. In that situation, with own shipline including capital ships, bonuses same as house miners, overpowered diplomacy, nerfing IMG is something what must be done. It's about time to restore mining balance, before it's too late for house miners.
So I'm pointing out how unfair and imbalanced current mining system is, and I will be doing so until it's fixed.

Unfortunately Hone, that's something what also I wanted, but again, because of balance reasons, as others noticed, it's already extremally easy to make big cash here, nerfing IMG is the only real option.
