Move PoBs from the Mining Fields

[Lord.MacRae]

Thanks everyone for their input. It seems there are two main groups on this discussion, the people who own or make use of those PoBs and don't want anything to change and the other side is the rest of the community.

I believe you wanted to say:
Thanks everyone for their input. It seems there are two main groups on this discussion, the people who own or make use of those PoBs like miners, suppliers, owners, ore customer, producers, equipment customers, newbies who are impressed and stay in the game because they want to help with the base. On the other side the pirates who do not have an easy life because there is a little area in the whole universe where they can not hurt someone easily and don't want to change everything to be adjusted to their RP fading out other ideas.

You're not going to get any points comparing a futuristic sci-fi game to real life.

Perhaps not from you but from unprejudiced people. You did not understand that I just wanted to demonstrate the "logic". Treasure -> envious person -> as much protection possible. Also just because it is a futuristic sci-fi game there is no reason for it to be illogical or why it has to be forced to be illogical.

Traders/Miners shouldn't have it easy when it comes to making a profit ...

You do not want to let any good thing count and just see the things you do not like. I think when you would try to think twice you will see that a base filled with ore attracts haulers and they are flying long ways where you could hurt them everywhere. What makes more activity? A lonely miner in a field where you can quickly kill him to have your fun. Or many haulers, one after another, with them you could have fun all day.
Furthermore NOT the miners are the reason for a base in a mining area to be profitable. Just filling a base with ore and the owner of the base having to pay for it would be a stupid idea. Without many many haulers there would just be an ore filled base. Perhaps the owner could drop the ore into space sometimes and then could deposit new cash on the base for the miners to be able to mine and sell again, but how long will the owner do that? Again, there have to be many transports filled up with 5000 tons of ore and when you manage to hurt them instead of a lonely miner you could demand more and more ofthen.

6. Get destroyed by 9999999 weapons platforms.

I can build that many? Cool!
