i am a miner. i have changed my mining areas 4 times up to now - following suggestions give to me here and via PM.
as i saif i dont mind being pirated as long as it is RP and they aer reasonable. but being forced to drop my whole cargo (for which i work 35-45 minutes) really isnt fun. maybe i am just getting the pothead kind of pirates, but still thats really really frustrating.
and for those that dont believe it... try the following: buy a mining ship. mine a full load of ore (doesnt matter which). when you are ready, fly to the next sun. drop your cargo, shoot it and fly into the sun. then do that again and again. and then come and tell me how much fun THIS is.
