Move PoBs from the Mining Fields

[Geolog]

To be fair, debating based on the most extreme minority case doesn't reveal a solid argument.

Currently, there are bases where you can mine sat on top of the docking point. There is literally no counter to that, save having a cloaking device and then raising the shield with your first shot. Of course, if the base has weapon platforms, the pirate is still up the creek, so to speak.

Your last post basically stated that miners should be immune seeing as pirates can simply hit the transports. Are you not seeing how that mentality is detrimental overall? If the majority of BMM mined like that, the Mollys would have nothing to do. If the majority of Kruger or Daumann mined like that, the Hessians would be starved of their logical enemies.

Miners are a part of the food chain too, that's just a fact of server life. Personally, I'd be happy with the bases being moved to 10k outside the fields. Still close enough to be convenient, and close enough for an eagle-eyed miner to escape. But not so close that escape is immediately a forgone conclusion that frankly makes piracy irrelevant.

Risk and reward determines price here, and that balance is currenly heavily askew.

You also don't get pirates F1ing in mining fields and no one doing anything about it. Perfectly okay. Not like something can be done about that. Unless you go mining with 1 miner and 5 bombers and consider it a mining operation. Btw those starved enemies that raped miners were Hessians and Corsairs.

As for balance that's why there is a cloak. Go cloak, CD the base and pirate. If you think pirating next to the POB is impossible then you should try it. I did and it's double. Or other pirating ways. There are, go discover.

I'm not one sided. I have been to the other side and seen how pirating is super easy. Did it with all types of ships.

As for metagaming, playerlist is for losers. I don't watch it and because I don't watch it pirates pirate me often.

PS: Btw, don't bother replying to my post. I know everyone have a hammer to throw at me.

EDIT: Pirating miners is okay, don't get me wrong about that. But F1ing in field is bad. My posts were qqing about that king of piracy. But that kind of piracy seams okay to do that these days, while putting a base in the mining fields is super bad.
