Mining has a super high risc of being pirated, and well hauling gold ore to NY isnt that particilar safe either.
I dont get why you people want it nerfed:
Pirates camp at mining places, Usually H4. They pick up a full cargo, BMM miner, demand 5+ mil (if unlucky multiple times...)
A hauler comes, wants to buy a full load for 15 mil (or sdomthing among the lines), now, He will have to move though dangerous systems. he would get 15 mil profit, but bang, 2 times the hauler gets pirated for 3+ mil (minimal), suddenly, its not as much as a general trader would get.
If anything, there should be a rule on this:
Miners cannot haul ore's to NY..
Then you're not abel to complain about 'Oh look, Hes getting 30 mil just because he mined. Instead he would get 15 mil.
Or just buff trading.
Do know that pirates generally camp Dublin, which they then complain about boredom. Really silly, since they do not look for the variation.
