[Petition] Un-Nerf Mining!

[ugliestmoose]

foremost - the concern is about players that violate the rules. - players that F1 and such... if mining as it is now encourages such a behaviour, it needs to be changed.

so - why is it that miners tend to F1 in the first place? - that is the question that needs to be asked - other than that.... its only a matter of slight adjustments towards the profits. ( when it comes to trading / mining )

why ppl F1 is a question everyone needs to ask him/herself... - is it cause they expect pirates to demand too much? is it cause its such an easy way out ( sanctions not high enough)? is it cause they simply have no chance to do anything else ( drop cargo or die - without a chance to actually have a choice to really win an encounter)?

For what's it's worth, here's something really simple that I would like to see done:

Increase the drop rate of ore and lower its value; this way, instead of making approximately 1 "trip" per hour with the risk of losing an hour's worth of ore, it would be 2 or 3 trips, with no single trip bearing as much risk. Maybe knowing that he is risking only 15-20 minutes of effort rather than 60 will discourage the threatened miner from F1. Also, it would increase miner mobility which would encourage pirates to spread out more.


What do you all think?
