Mining Capacity

[eyvind]

My first thought is not to get the DSE ID, not if you want to mine scrap metal around Pittsburgh.

The backstory behind the Pittsburgh Debris Sweep (link is to the economy event application, includes links to forum RP and other material) is that ALG has been contracted by DSE to use their superior salvaging technology to make the job more lucrative for everyone and less long. We have had a few events and impromptu happenings with ALG Movers and Mining Ships.

I see no reason for this contract not being open for all ALG people, whether they are members of the official faction or not, so in my opinion the ALG ID is a very good option in terms of role-play.

Not only that, but the ID (with an ALG IFF) will boost your mining yield, which the DSE ID will not. It's only about 15% (20%?), of course, so your profits won't depend on it. A nice bonus, nevertheless.


On the other hand if you are a Liberty mining corporation (with no connections whatsoever to ALG or Rheinland) the DSE ID is likely the best faction ID you can choose. I am very willing to role-play out a groovy solution that involves beautiful ships and a cleaner neighborhood. Perhaps DSE has decided to invest in a salvaging division to cut down on dependence on other corporations? Well, let the role-play make the decisions!


I will also talk to Ventana (Chairman of ALG) and hear his thoughts.
