Poll - POBs and Mining Areas

[Karlotta]

Quick summary of arguments:

Spoiler

1. It is a waste of gaming time for the attacker (right clicking for 1 hour at off-hours).
   
2. It is a waste of time and effort for the builder (permaloss of the investment of time/money)
   
3. It creates only negativity specially as most builders never even know that they are doing something that will get the BS fleet rolling their way. It's "learning things in the worst possible way", and that is what we do not want for Disco.
   

We could save ourselves a lot of trouble, waste of time and frustration if there were rules that would state where one can build and where one can't.

A fourth, fifth,and sixth argument against POBs in minind field added to the list in the spoiler are:

-They break the teamwork mining balance, as for example a BMM clydesdale solo-mining next to a POB outclasses all teamwork efforts in efficiency, and also outclasses the more expensive hegemon which is intended for solo mining

-They make piracy impossible for someone who doesnt have a cloaking device, which is unfair to people who cant afford them, and breaks the creditgrinder->pirate->police food chain that is the lifeblood of activity

-A base in a mining field draws activity away from a base built in a distance that is fair to pirates, wasting the efforts of the people who tried to stay fair for pirates
