Move PoBs from the Mining Fields

[jammi]

You have not made a good argument as to why our bases should not be near the mining field. Noone is mining on top of the base ready to dock but far behind the base in the mining area.

Just because you don't like the arguments or aren't receptive to them, does't mean they're not good points.

Similarly, I don't think you know your miners very well. While I was delivering supplies for the Bowex contract, the majority of miners I saw were mining directly under the stations, probably within 500-700m. Given that your base is located in the center of the mining zone, that's to be expected.

In any case, the specifics of where they're mining or individual stations is irrelevant. You're still operating a base that allows you to mine with impunity, completely removing miners from the server ecosystem.

Your station doesn't suffer by being moved 10k from the perimeter of the field, but a large sector of players are penalised by its current location, especially Gaians. I'm not a pirate crying because some miners escaped my clutches. I'm exclusively a corporate trader/miner, but I can look at both sides of the coin and I feel the current situation is extremely detrimental.
