I would like to see ores be split in two groups. One are generic materials, ai, Helium, Scrap Metal, etc which are mined without the need of any specialized equipment. These ores would be fast to mine, but relatively cheap to sell and the destination should be in the same house/area.
Then we have specialized ores, which are the others: Big profit, relatively long flight time and the changes to the current mining system being:
Any transport/freighter loses its ability to mine.
Ore can be mined only by selecting a transport with a mining LF.
Mining speed is slow, but balanced out by huge profit.
Ore should not be placable on POBs.
Speed should be made that it would not be possible to easily fill a 5ker with one person.
This would also encourage the use of freighers and smaller, agiler transports due to the large amount of money being hauled. This can also mean that mining operations are time consuming and would result that people hire others to defend them.
If possible, the ore drops should not be possible until at least 4 people are in a group together and doing something.
