Mining Revamp

[oZoneRanger]

Have you guys figured out how to adjust the mechanics themselves so to make mining a group thing again, for high-value ore above 4k per unit? It is rather sad to see such a mechanic go to waste as POBs allow self-mining in the stead of large/daily mining operations.

In the same grain as this, it would be really cool if when you mined the ore dropped in space, and people would have to tractor it. Yes, it makes stealing ore possible, and ore being destroyed would be what bird culture considers a dick move, but it would encourage escorts and rp around the mining, as it creates new ways to interact.

I think the thing with Ore floating in space, and why it was changed, was the fact that having Ore clouds floating around, caused an incredible amount of server lag. If I remember correctly.
