Mining changes

[Recovery]

Here's something: A corporate trader can haul up to 5000 units of cargo at once. A miner requires a hauler to carry that same amount, therefore more ships are needed to mine than to trade. Otherwise, the traders would run out of stuff to trade. I realize not all traders use 5000 unit transports, but it's still a good point. I am 189.253% (and a half) against the nerfage, even though I don't even mine myself.
Another point: if the companies that buy the ore are facing a problem with pirates, then they should raise the prices, not lower them. They aren't going to try and discourage people from doing business with them because of pirates. They're going to try and raise them, so that miners will continue mining in spite of the pirates. Lowering the price that the company buys the ore at will, combined with the pirates, cause the miners to all leave. It seems that this is the goal of this nerf, which is completely nuts.
So tell me: Why would you do this, Cannon? It's clearly against the will of the majority of this community, and it doesn't help anything at all. I believe this nerf will cause major problems in the community, destroy RP, and tear Disco apart. I beg of you, unnerf!

So basically you're shooting someone else's ship?
PvP abuse, IMO.
