How to ballance mining?

Cosmos please go outside and do some counting?
Come back when you have an idea how to fix the mining issue;)

===============

Miners are in my opinion supposed to be on one spot to mine.
This makes the a easy target. But they are not meant to fly all over Sirius.

So my suggestion
- Make mining vessels have a 1k bay. Rest of the ship is needed to sort out the resources from the rocks for the major part. But since they are not efficient enough the rest will be done on a processing plant. Also give it more armor and less defenses. So pirates will have to be busy for a while to take down the miner. In the mean time Escort vessels have time to take out the pirate.

- Make the stations where to sell ore closer to the fields. Not too high prices for the ore so it won't be like 'MINING FTW'. Maybe up to 5k?
Make the drop rates for mining vessels only higher.

The bases where you sell the ore will also sell the processed goods a little more then the ore. Bases that want to buy the processed goods pay even more. But the difference in prices is as a regular trade route.
