Mining in Omicron Gamma

[Syndic]

I AM a Corsair miner there. That's the point.

"Mine with friends" is the same lame crap advice often given as, "Then join a clan". I play alone--which is why mining suits me well.

Crete has to get all those dirt cheap artifacts somewhere and I am guessing Corsair miners are the source predominantly.

My character is simply a Corsair who wishes to support his family by pursuing a trade that also benefits his people as a whole. He is an older family man--not a young, cocky, well-connected elder's son or front line combat pilot.

My point also isn't that its difficult to mine there its that it completely profitless compared to trading. I can load my mining ship with artifacts I BUY on Crete and smuggle them to New York and return making more on one trade trip than I could in ten to twenty times the amount of time it takes to mine that many artifacts in Gamma.

Not asking prices to be raised or anything--just that a little more out-of-the-way and less hostile field be placed near Gamma.
