Mining Revamp

[Independent Miners Guild]

From IMG Point of View:

Problems:

1. We appreciate getting the Omega 47 ore, however it seems we lose Omega 3 completely as mining area, while O7 is traditionally difficult (very much depending on where the fields will be located).
   
2. Omega 47 does not compete with O7. Long cruises, no lanes. It's likely impossible to balance the 2 points of origin to the selling points.
   
3. Also, losing all mining commodities in O3 (assuming IMG does not gain a Raw Hydrocarbon bonus), would marginalize O3 as mining area completely, whereas O7 keeps it's high status with 3 ore types. The distribution could be fairer. Bretonia needs love, too.

Solutions could be:

1. Omega 47 gets Diamonds, and IMG/Hessians go for the Diamonds. See @Wesker 's suggestion. I like it. O47 endeavour is only possible with closer IMG-Hessian cooperation, and Diamonds would be a nice way of portraying this irply.
   
2. Omega 3 keeps an ore that IMG can mine (could be Hyrdrocarbons or something else at the Comet). An ore that BMM and IMG can spar over would be nice, also for activity.
   
3. Omega 7 gets fields placed in a way so that IMG can also access at least one of them (with a decent bonus). As of now, all active fields are in Rheinland territory and after rounds and rounds of mainly oorp madness, O7 is basically completely DHC/Kruger mining, with IMG having moved away because of the past oorp trouble linked to playing there.
   
4. Omega 9... still useless and a system lacking function, but if Omega 3/7 fields ran out, and Omega 9 resources became a thing...
   

Anyway, I am looking forward to discussing the changes some more and I have high hopes in the mining rewrite.
