Move PoBs from the Mining Fields

[SpaceTime]

I think all of those fields are actually getting moved so that the bases are no longer inside them. At least most of them are, to my knowledge.

The mining fields were balanced where they were. So why change them instead of moving the PoBs elsewhere?

As if pirates don't have enough space and time to pirate transports anywhere between point A and B.

You weren't around back then, but mining fields were created with the intention to be pirate-able. Right now, several of them, clearly are not. Which is a major balance issue. Please don't confuse piracy in the mining fields with lane piracy.
