Mollys and Mining

[Hone]

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.

Jeez someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Your argument - full of pointless hate, and unhelpfull bile as it was - would seem to make sense, except for the fact that you've got your basic ideas wrong, the situation is not "hunters and Prey", it is defenders and thieves, with bmm and mollies each considering themselves the 1st and the other the 2nd, so why would the mollies be defending the gold unless they were mining it? The mollies are not a straight pirate faction, they make thier money "Pillfering the queens coffers" and as the class that actually originated mining gold in dublin for bmm, it makes sense that they would have all the others expertise, prehaps more as it is all they mine whereas bmm mines other things aswell.
However the mollies do not have the funding of the bmm, so it makes sense that they would not have as good ships - therfore balance and rp is available by adding a smaller mining ship for the mollies - especially since as an unlawfull ship it would be equipped with more defences thus reducing the hold space, - so profiteers would still head for bmm with its larger cargo hold.
And as has been pointed out if giving mollies the mining bonus would finish bmm, why isnt everyone IMG?
