Mining is preferred because it is a group effort.
Well, that really depends, As a smuggler may choose to take Jump holes and cruise across systems instead of taking gates and lanes, Which will slow down the trip quite a bit, and not to mention law enforcement, If they catch you you cant really pay your way out of the situation, like you could with a pirate!
Honestly smuggling needs a small buff if you ask me, same with trading, because I see barely anyone smuggle/trade (Ive only smuggled once in my 1 and a half years of playing Discovery, since Mining is much more profitable!) compared to mining (However they do have to trade the ores if they are a lone miner, or working with transports, but thats besides the point), and It may bring some more frequent RP encounters to both lawful and unlawful factions!!
