To be honest, I didn't see much in the way of roleplaying on your side.
Granted, what I see as roleplaying might be different from what you see, but personally, I don't find it smart, nor would any of my characters, to continue mining in front of anyone who's shooting at me, much less a PHANTOM.
I had some nice roleplay with some Phantoms yesterday when one caught my Atlas in Cortez, and while I did end up with my ship in pieces, the experience will probably have Marcus ensuring that there's at least one deck of cards or some other game on board his ship in case he runs into a Phantom again. He'd rather have an alternative game to 'kitties and vacuum'. ;)
