Anyway, do I like this idea?
No I don't. We had those "Vigilante Antiminers" around before, it wasn't fun. Turned into ooRP hate and got disgusting.
Why create another minerhunting faction? I seriously think we have far enough, just ask BMM, Krüger, DHC, IMG (though they have that many enemies because they are spread over the western and southern indie/borderworlds/bretonia)...
If it isn't the independent pirates, Mollies, Hessians, Rogues, Hogosha, etc. hunting you, it'll be the Mercs trying to kill you.
I think we've seen enough complaining of DHC, Krüger and BMM to know they have problems getting members to mine with them. IMG had it's bad times too in the last time, still having lots of members but having had some heavy hits on morale and gameplayfun lately.
So, sorry, but it just isn't a good idea in my opinion. You'd just be like everyone else. There's also the problem with what ID to go with, I'd say the closest RP-wise would be "Gaian", but even they are rather "meh" to "neutral" with IMG for example. It'd be simple terrorism, eco-terrorism. RP-wise the idea is "alright", but in game we currently don't need it.
Okay I get your point. But, i have been a miner to you know. You maybe bump into one or two pirates every run. Most of them asks me to pay 2-5M. If i with a hege does a niobium ore load for example i earn around 22 millions. In worst case you lose 10M but still your profit is really high and better than the pirates. I won't be taking the big company miners in defense as you do even if i respect your opinion and i think you are making it to big. They are very wealthy and some more and some other rp than usual would only be good for them. And also we are not supposed to be really big. Those who join us then i think would propably have joined a pirate faction either way. Just that our RP maybe is a bit funnier.
