Mining System

[Vito]

Indeed, that is also a good option.

I know I'll get lots of hate for saying this, but the mining system broke a lot of things in Disco, from trading factions to pirating factions and everything in between.

Just look at any faction that doesn't have a mining bonus, they're mostly dead: Kishiro, Bowex, Republican, Universal Shipping, DSE, Synth Foods, Planetform, Gateway, Dauman, ALG. Many are dead and the ones surviving are only kept alive by the dedication of two, mostly three members.

On the other hand we have Kruger, IMG and BMM who are thriving because of their mining bonuses (its funny how some of them complain about still not getting enough).

And I'm not talking only about player factions (official or not), but also indies.

People keep talking about Disco's economy, but the truth is there is no economy anymore, its 95% ore and most of the time all the RP it generates is this:

Miner: want fill up?
Trader: yes plox
10 minutes later:
Pirate: 10 million or die
Trader: lol no, kill me

Back in the old day people were different, in terms of faction leaders and devs alike. The faction leaders were able to sacrifice for the greater good and the devs were able to see the big picture and not change things that don't need changing.

Edit: I didn't even start on pirating/unlawful factions and the way they are only surviving via PvP and most their RP is based around making alliances to get tech/guns/PvP advantages.
