[Petition] Un-Nerf Mining!

[mjolnir]

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?

I'd like that as well.
The concept of extremely expensive ore that you haul only once per hour or so invites for pirates to make crazy demands and miners to do everything possible to avoid loosing the ore.

So more frequent trips with lower value ore should reduce this a bit.


That said I never mined.... ever, trading works just as well as always and without really picking routes (i.e. searching for them in spoiler programs) and without blockade running or smuggling I make some 15-20 mil/hour on house corporation runs.
Trading also has the advatange of being able to do it at any time and pause at any time. Have 15 mins free waiting for someone/something? No problem log on trader and do short run.
