Move PoBs from the Mining Fields

[Highland Laddie]

Balanced in what way? Cruisers F1ing in fields and waiting for Hegemons? I don't see a balance in that.

One balance to that would be mining with security escorts in place. Whereas, with PoBs, it would require massive sieges against bases that, for all purposes, could not be destroyed.

But Jammi is correct - facing a potential F1ed pirate is a risk for anybody, be they miner in the field or transport along a well-traveled route.

I would note that Platinum Inc. and Rutherford are not technically "in" the plantium ore fields, but nearby them. So, I don't know that they would require being moved.
