I'd prefer buffing trading to nerfing mining, although I don't have a miner. Besides, nerfing mining would cause Q_Q, whereas buffing trading would not.

For some reason I just don't like the idea of making Hegemon more expensive. I don't know exactly about the time/profit balance when mining is concerned, but it still takes much more time to mine stuff and take it to the destination. For that time I can make a 2 or 3 runs in my BWT, so I think that the difference wouldn't be that great (although it may be; as I've just said, I haven't tried mining). And if you nerf mining profits and increase the Hegemon's price, the amount of Q_Q will be... I don't even want to imagine that.
In general: Alvin's suggestion - signed by a person whose only cash-making vessel is a BWT. Maybe even 30% buff (but this might be too extreme).
P.S.: another solution - making the Hegemon suitable for mining only, not hauling (somehow). Though, people still can F1 and switch to their transports, so yeah, that probably won't help. Besides, it'd be a nerf (did I say I prefer buffs to nerfs?).
