Discover v4.88: Mining - Bugs, Balancing, and Feedback

=====Overall Mining Possibillities=======

Feedback:

This is just my two cents, nothing more. I am fairly new to the GC server, so I am used to other servers. Testing out all the different mining possibilities, I found the opportunities rather dissapointing. My proposal would be to just offer more places to mine at all. There are literally dozens of unused fields all over Sirius and I would suggest enabling more of them. I am aware that fair balancing is a big chunk of work, but more mining spots would also enable more activity in certain zones, wich are currently underdeveloped. For a fair ammount of ores there is only one and one place only to get it. This is rather unlogical if you read all the infocards about the planets and clouds and wich minerals are supposedly available there. All I'm saying is - spice it up a little. Give certain regions activity boosts by enabling mining spots.


=====Mining Alien Organisms in Buffin=======

Bug:

At least now the mining of Alien Organisms in Baffin does not work at all. I tested it with GMG (Garanchou, GMG IFF/ID, Mining Array) and a Zoner (Osprey, Zoner ID/IIF, Mining Array) and both yield absolutely Zero result. You always only get 100% water in your hold. This should be repaired at least to make it doable again. Of course with lower droprates than O. Theta.


=====Mining Irridium in Omicron Delta=======

Balancing:

I tried minign there and besides the political turmoil recently in this system the only mining spot for Irriidum is certainly lacking with droprate/yield. I personally like the idea having dangerous far out mining spots, where even yellies stop by to harass you, if those would be options worth the risk and time to get there, safely get the ore wich often would require an escort, and getting good prices for it. Irridium, at least now, is no that valuable but that is not my point. I would still do it for the exotic place if it would at least work sufficiently. Pump up the droprate and it still might be a fun place to do some mining convoy rp. Just a suggestion.
