Regarding your stationing at Freeport 10, we would like that. But, we have a low profit margin, unless our operation in the area becomes very large. At the moment, it is small and our profits per pickup are 800k. Compounded by the fact that my wares have only been bought by PMG traders. No other foreign party is willing to buy our niobium as it is cheaper to buy it on Falkland base or Java base.
That means that my total profit has been 1.6 million credits. Not very much, but its enough for a days job. Working with BMM was like always being kept under some other persons thumb.
If you can compete with the prices that the sso| set out then you will probably be hired. Our organisation needs to make it somewhere.

OOC: thats why i think that the prices of all goods (except non mineable materials) needs to rise exponentially. From 160 on Falkland to mabey 1000. Then the Ring from 1400 to 2400. This would mean that we could make a decent living out of mining, and our operation in some areas will expand due to people travelling to us to get a significant discount on the goods that they are trading. It would be good to see 5 miners in Dublin and still a shortage of gold for sale. Even better to see 4 miners in Tau 37. If the PMG could make that kind of profit, then we could afford to hire people to defend us (for a decent price). There would also be a market for pirates trying to steal our stuff / pirate us. I know it would take a long time though, but if its a matter of changing numbers, it shouldnt be too much of a problem. There would also be alot of requests to "buy a cloud" which is what were looking to do at the moment. If mining became popular enough, then most profitable clouds would be owned by some party of miners. Wars would even spring up over them if one cloud owned by a rival company had more profitable/easier to mine rescorce. I think that would make the buisness of mining expand, not just from people joining because they love to mine.
