What's wrong with mining?

[chopper]

I wish ALL fields were like that. IMG should do something too, you know?
Miners life simply isn't worth living, since it's more boring then trading it should at least pay better.
Also, mining requires protection and stuff like that, since ships are stuck in asteroid fields = easy target for any pirate.
I think it would enhance roleplay a lot.
I'v suggested this a zillion times at least, but here it goes again.

Up the metal/mineral buying/selling prices by some 500-1000. Traders will still earn the same amount of cash, while Miners would be able to earn money with mining.
Also, Trader's cargo will cost a lot more, and they will be more careful with "Oh kill me i dont care ill respawn" stuff.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
