Mollys and Mining

[Dusty Lens]

So basically what you want is that miners can sit in one place, travel a few systems and make obscene amounts of money while other factions that has similar characteristics need to work in groups to make less money? While I do understand that pirates can simply pirate to get their ore it hardly seems fair to neglect such a huge part of a faction because "corporations need love".

This whole "corporation love" wave that's been going on lately is understandable. Corporations were dead putting it bluntly. But here is the truth: You can never spread activity evenly across factions. Just like everyone did the Niobium-Diamond run everyone will run towards whatever activity is the most profitable. The only thing you did was shift the balance from pirates to miners and mining corps. (not even all corps mind you.)

PS: I especially liked that last phrase on your other post because what I have seen is exactly the opposite, that being BAF battleships with little knowledge of RP. And guess where they got the money from.

PPS: No, I do not own a Molly, before you even start throwing accusations of bias at me.

Yes that's exactly right AJBeast. I want miners to sit in one place, travel a few systems and make obscene amounts of money while other factions that have similar characteristics need to work in groups to make less money.

You hit the nail exactly on the head.

I'm glad that the intent is shining through.

Now to the serious reply.

I don't think you're biased. I think that you're selfish, insincere, short sighted and biased. But then it's going to be a long time before my faith in certain persons is restored following the bugged scrap field fiasco following the server move and some of the code upset that followed.

You airquote "corporate love" in one paragraph and admit that corporations need love in the second. You troll the idea behind mining in one paragraph and then demand that system be applied to other groups in the second. You admit that pirates have alternative options to corporations in the first paragraph and then decry diversity in the second.

Then you complain, what, that everyone runs to the group that is most profitable? How is that even relevant? What are you trying to say? Do you even know? What are you even trying to argue? That pirate groups should be able to generate commercial revenue while waiting for corporate targets to amble by? That the idea that it's -wrong- that Corporations are in a position to generate wealth at a greater rate than organizations that are given license to hunt them for gain?

Here's the rub. This is a game mechanics issue. There are two groups involved here. Hunters and prey. There are the appeals, pros and cons of group A. There are the appeals, pros and cons of group B. Group A has teeth. Group B has fat and fur.

That's the system that we've established in Discovery. That's what's staying. Pax Corporations.
