POBs near mining fields

[JunkerTown]

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.

Not much fight from a miner using mining turrets.
Be a rather short interaction considering the distance involved.
If your not a fan of this whole mess than stop with the continuation of this drama.

Riiiiight you had nothing to do with this base falling under fire.
Were REALLY suppose to believe that Jack?
