The balance is perfectly fine.
No it isn't.
In a nutshell IMG has almost zoner diplomacy, powerful unlawful friends who usually pop house miners without demand, has same bonuses as house corps, is the only faction with A-B-A ore route in the game, can use cruisers and battleships.
Many of these issues are getting fixed in next version, including removal of 2 bonuses which IMG shouldn't have at all. I hope mining development will listen to points about mining bonuses and give house miners x4 bonus to ores such as cobalt or copper.
Thanks to raising questions issues hopefully will be solved, we'll see what future brings. DHC HC though, taught by the experience what miracles happened to mining balance in .86 will be watching closely further development of the mining system.
