Discovery 5.1 - Aftershock: Dev Diary #7, Of People And Piracy

[Petitioner]

But will NPC convoys carry cargo once more? I want that casino thrill of gambling on it being a load of Diamonds in a shipping lane full of Oxygen.

I miss the thrill too, believe me, but it's really really hard to make this remotely worthwhile while also keeping it from being giga-busted. We're looking into ways to make this happen again, but I wouldn't hold your breath over it.

Will pirating ore at mining spots be viable again without a pob?

Right now most bases just buy unrefined ores for their base value. Working on integrating ore into cargo piracy is a high priority for me, but it must be done carefully; an incautious implementation of this could very easily make POB refining simply not worthwhile, and nobody wants that.
