Mining changes

[Eppy]

change the code for 6 commodities with about 10 selling points, or change the code for 67 (or however many) commodities and their sale prices on like a zillion stations.

Little work vs lots of work. I can understand why.

You know, if I knew how I would change the values for a bajillion stations. I honestly would. You know why? Because trading SUCKS and I have lots of spare time. It doesn't make enough money to be worth the time (especially trading human cargo). Mining was they way out - a way to make good money while having fun and being party of a community that trading rarely allows. Now that's screwed, because Traders don't make enough money. Really? Maybe the latter should be fixed so that trading profits are brought up to the level of mining, hmm? Regardless of how much work it takes, it should be fixed, because the poor quality of trading across the board is the fault of one person who shall remain nameless (and who should also be the one to fix it, and subsequently replaced if he or she fails to do so). This can be done; yes, it will be exceedingly arduous, but it is necessary. Both of these - the arduousness and the necessity - are true of many projects much more monumental and challenging than this (such as creating the atomic bomb, building the interstate system, landing on the moon, making Freelancer, and me holding my tongue any less than I am). Unless you just want us all to suffer, or are operating under the delusion that all the lulwuts after battleships will somehow decide not to buy their BS because they can't get the necessary funds fast enough (which they will, as we have demonstrated hundreds of times over the last two years).

EDIT:

You mined to make money so you could buy other stuff, not so you could amass billions on your mining ships and keep them. You'll just have to find another way to get your cap 8 dread.

Actually, that was my intent. I've been having a lot of fun just making money this last month without plans to spend it on anything. I can sit in a rock field for an hour and talk to other miners while I blow the crap out of billions of tiny rocks (something I have been able to do once in fighter-to-fighter combat across my 3.3-year history here), and then actually afford a decent escort or two and letting my angry, drunkard Scottish foreman have fun with them as they gallavant across southern Sirius to Ingolstadt. I was really, really having fun.

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.
