I advice reading the opening post before making a comment like that, if you don't understand a word then you can lookup it's meaning using google: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=define+accidentally
i apologize a thousand times for overreading the word "accidently" - thy for this helpful advivce.
But looking at the situation now - i think there is quiete a lot of interaction at the Dublin fields - well Kruger / IMG fields in O7 is not that much interaction, but too. There are many fields you can mine all over the Sirius. If you reduce them to a few single fields you may get some more interaction there but rest will be empty.
Forcing all to one field will mean ONLY mining in groups is efficient. Individual mining will die in this case.
Group mining is already supported by better drop for small mining ships, which i think is a good thing.
What kind of interactions you like to see at the fields ? More bashing in the fields ? Or more piraciy ? Or more miners equipped with cau's fleeing from some pirates or competitors ? (by the way fleeing is nearly impossible). I cant imagine getting more (polite) RP by concentrating mining fields.
e.g. as a Transporter Pilot i waited 4 hours in Omega 7 to find a miner willing to fill me. Then a "non-official" kruger - but kruger iff and id hegemon came to fill me. Individual miners and traders more often interact with other people than most officials, because it is needed to get cargo or customer. Officials do this interaction -which is really good- when enough of them on. I like large convoys or lager mining actions - yes. But when they are gone the Indie Players will be slaughtered at the mining field - because pirates now (when mining fields are concentrated) dont have to look at which field they are - there is only one left.
The suggestions above may be good for official groups - but try to think as an Indie, too.
