POBs near mining fields

[JunkerTown]

And your only crying because you cannot mine a certain field.
Its not just cloaks that are a good work around but there are other methods.
Your suggesting to let the inferior miners always be at a disadvantage unless they hire an escort which may or may not prove useful.
All your wanting is for easy pickings and the ability to push around the lil guys.
If someone wants to come in and pay huge amounts of creds to protect those normally disadvantaged folks then.. Yes im in favor of it.
But it does not matter because the ruling has been changed and you have your way.
Your just wanting a station already setup and having its own RP in place to be moved.
That again is not fair.

Are you real, mate?
I am not "crying" because I cannot mine in the O7 Silver field. I am making a general remark on the detrimental consequences to gameplay that all POBs in mining fields have. What I write about the gameplay-wise damage caused by these bases are simple facts, and you even admitted those.

And, hey, you have not forgotten that I am leading a mining faction, have you? So, yes: I do not want miners to be safe. Nothing in this game should be safe! Because only the naive think that safe is good. Safe is boring. Safe from interaction is killing activity, is killing whole systems and regions. Safe by having a POB next to you is the guarantee for only one thing: cheap money without roleplay, without interaction, without effort, without thrill and ultimately without fun.

And yes, I want the 1 out of 79 bases that does not conform with the rules at the moment to not damage gameplay. But I think that this is not too much to ask at all.

Ya I think I'm real, well at least whatever 'real' is.
Anyway your wanting to put a base at 15k away from the field.
I wonder just what do you think that would solve considering by your own explanation earlier..

You mine there, 1k from the POB.
You see a red contact on 14 k.
You thrust to the base.
The contact is at 9,8 k.
You hit F9, see "pirate transport" or "gunboat" or "bomber"
You hit "F3 dock" when the enemy is at 9,3 k.

This would be solved if the base was 15k away?
Seems to me the miner could more than likely still get away at that distance.
Perhaps we should expand it to 30 or even 50??
Where does it end???
I have not forgot you run a mining faction.. and this base your crying about is in fact owned by your competitors.
So call up your friends, do whatever you gotta do to have it removed.
In fact I'd heard you were already doing that anyway.

Last thing I'll say is this.
The rule is in your favor now and this base IF destroyed will no longer be allowed to upgrade should they ever decide to rebuild.
Something we learned after one of our long standing guard stations La Mona was destroyed and we couldn't built it where it was.. ever again.
Despite the fact that station had years of history/RP and we'd spent billions of credits keeping it running.
So instead of wasting time here trying to get admin intervention on something you feel isn't too much to ask.
Devote your energy into finding ways in game, or inrp to get the base removed.
Having votes or posts about this 1 base out of 79 seems like a huge waste of time in my opinion.

So, why do you vote "yes, it should be allowed", when you admit that it makes a complete form of interaction impossible?

You asked why I voted the way that I did and I tried to explain it to you the best that I could.
I do not feel it hurts gameplay but can offer some relief to those being bullied.
Still I shouldn't have to considering its my right to vote in anyway that I choose.
Might be best if we can just agree to disagree.
