Since Pavel and I ended up on this conversation again, and this ended up too long to be suitable for Skype, here we go:
Currently it is:
IMG - Al N/A | Be 3x | Co 3x | Cu 3x | (D) 2x | Au 3x | Nb 4x | Ag 3x | Pt 2x
Total - 23
BMM - Al N/A | Be 4x | Co 3x | Cu N/A | (D) N/A | Au 4x | Nb 3x | Ag N/A | Pt N/A
Total - 14
DHC - Al 4x | Be N/A | Co 3x | Cu 3x | (D) 4x | Au N/A | Nb N/A | Ag N/A | Pt N/A
Total - 14
Kruger - Al N/A | Be N/A | Co 4x | Cu 3x | (D) 3x | Au N/A | Nb N/A | Ag 4x | Pt N/A | He-3 1.5x
Total - 14 (+He-3)
DSE - Al N/A | Be N/A | Co N/A | Cu 4x | (D) N/A | Au N/A | Nb N/A | Ag 4x | Pt 3x | Scrap 2x
Total - 15 (+Scrap)
Aluminium - Munich and a small one in Koeln - DHC specialises and monopolises - no changes
Beryllium - Tau-23 and Cambridge - BMM specialises, IMG are ok, Samura can steal - Samura really need to?
Cobalt - Omega-7 and -3 (Comet) - Kruger specialises, IMG, DHC and BMM are ok - DHC could probably specialise, Kruger could drop down
Copper - Omega-7, -15, and Humboldt - DSE specialises, others are ok - Kruger could probably specialise
Diamonds - Omega-11 and -15 - Daumann specialises, Kruger is ok, IMG and Hessians are low - IMG should lose it
Gold - Dublin - BMM specialise, IMG does ok, GMS can steal, Mollys are low
Niobium - Leeds, Tau-23 and -37 - IMG specialises, BMM does ok, GMS and Samura can steal - BMM could have done with a better bonus but could steal from Leeds
Platinum - Alberta, Nagano - DSE, Samura and Kishiro do ok, IMG can steal(?) - IMG should lose bonus, DSE could specialise
Silver - Omega-7, Humboldt - Kruger and DSE specialise, IMG is ok - DSE could probably drop down to 3x
All these would make the totals:
IMG - 16 + Copper if we keep it
BMM - 14 + Hydrocarbons
DHC - 15 + Hydrocarbons
Kruger - 15 + He-3
DSE - 15 + Scrap
IMG currently has too many bonuses but for those it should, the numbers are ok. Could lose Copper from O-7 and give Kruger the specialisation, but definitely Diamonds and Platinum.
BMM could have done with Niobium as higher but could keep the three for stealing from Gallic Leeds. They'll also get Hydrocarbons in O-3 to add a little something. They still lose out a little bit, but also have Sprague/Omega-49 to play with.
DHC has two very good ores although Diamond sell-points are blocked from them, could get 4x on Cobalt if Kruger gets 4x on Copper (they have two fields). They also get Hydrocarbons.
Kruger, to me, should probably swap bonuses on Copper and Cobalt. They've not really got much going for them other than Silver though.
DSE - I forgot about Platinum in the totals - They have 4x in Humboldt, which is rather strange given they're out-of-house fields. Alberta is becoming more developed, so a 4x bonus and dropping one of the Humboldts to 3x might make sense while maintaining the total.
I don't really care about GMS, they have a lot of low-yield fields and bonuses other than Tau-23 Beryllium. 4.87 ID (AD's at least) gives them Tau influence for non-mining stuff though, could be "the Gallic IMG Paramilitary" in that regard.
Omega-7 is a suitable place to do with some sort of change to balance things.
Omega-9, depending on what fields it has in it, may alleviate this anyway - whoever gets some good POBs in there would get a good advantage.
Actually, Omega-9 being the old '15 would likely mean Copper will be there, likely with another ore.
Omega-11 is being rebalanced to let the Diamond mining get easier for the lawfuls.
Things on the Gallic front could change, particularly with the Languedoc <-> Tau-23 gate being put in and Leeds falling. Hopefully some more competitive mining there, in Leeds and in Dublin.
