Mining Revamp

[Antonio]

If you want to make "Group Mining" a thing again. Restrict the ability to mine Ore to freighter sized ships only. Having 2k+ sized Transports that can mine Ore is more of a problem for "Group Mining" than "Self Mining" POBs.

Quite the opposite. If you're doing a group mining op you shouldn't use anything bigger than a freighter for mining to begin with. Freighters mine much faster than a Hegemon/Kamome can, and it's much safer + cruises faster, directly resulting in profit with the amount of time saved. The only instance where a ship bigger than a freighter is viable for mining is if you're alone, be it for filling up a POB or hauling the ore yourself. As soon as you have another person (or more), one being in a freighter/light fighter (the Surveyor is by far the best mining ship in the game, but it requires the transport to be at the site already) and the other ones in large transports is much better.
