POBs near mining fields

[Jack_Henderson]

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 own 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.

Ehm... it makes the exact difference that the miner will try to run towards the next NPC base, that is (for gameplay reasons) around 15-25 k away, so that the pirate will catch the trader at around 10k from the safe base.

And then there is an interaction. A tense run. A fight. A conversation. In short: interaction between players.
Something that a POB in the field or very close to the field kills off.

So, yes. There is a huge difference.

And nice try to snipe at me for being part of the "siege crew". Sorry to disappoint you, but I will not even be physically available for the siege because I am away from the whole WE for a live roleplay event. And even though you will likely not believe it, I am trying to get an outcome that is not harming gameplay by less blunt means than "30 Jorms!!!! NAU!!!!" because I am not a fan of the mess that is inevitably linked to POB attacks.
