Mining

[McNeo]

And slight changes to the IMG, GMG, BMM etc ID's saying that :If the ship is a miner, it is only alowed to mine, not sell any of its goods on station, and fire in self defence (miners defence is rubbish, lets keep it that way:))

About increasing the commodity prices...that will probably take alot of time as it has to be the same gap in prices, apart from mabey oxygen and low cost things, where the price difference will have to be about 300 (from lowest to highest price)

so to make it simpler, and worthwhile for an extra jump or two by a trader, make the minimum price for things such as Artifacts 1500 and the maximum about 4000 (after all it is contraband).

For things such as Diamonds, make the minimum unit cost about 1200, and maximum 3000 (as its not contraband.

This is so people who mine (PMG) can sell their goods for about 500 less, which is worth the extra jump for traders. This means that the miners and the traders both make money from trading.

This also means that mercs need to be hired to protect mining convoys from attack. Pretty good opourtunity for RP.

and anyway, The commodities are underpriced as it is. People refer to each unit as a ton. Well, a ton of diamonds for the current price on NB of around 300 per ton is pretty damn cheap.
