Bering is looking to be a good example of a pvp-contested zone with a high risk, high reward commodity. Copper Ore mining in Kansas, on the other hand, is a relatively low-risk mining area, since it's so secluded (*Sigh* R.I.P. Denver sale point).
Personally, I'd rather not have every single mining area as a pvp-hotspot. I'm usually happy to pay off a pirate that comes asking for credits, or even a share of the ore. Bering on the other hand looks to be primed towards a very hostile environment, one which will interest the PvP-inclined. It may not be something I choose to participate in every night, but it'll be something different and new to dip my toes into.
Kansas? Its was a lunchroom for outcasts and indie pirates And, i can say this sort of HAZARD do nothing interesting, because miners just dont give care about pirates, because they always mine MORE profit then pirate can interrupt. If area contested? Build da PoB, secure area by caps, fasta mine in 2 people until PoB not full, work done. I not understand which sort of activity you are want get from this, and how it would be different from what we have now.
