The future of mining?

[Gemini893]

Mining never was the problem. I started back in 4.84, when all there was was trading. People were idiots then, and they are now. All mining does is condense it into a few places.

Near as I can tell, the Admins are just trying to make a point.

Yeah, traders and miners are the only idiots on the server... lol

The entire community is to blame, including the pirates. Personally, if I'd already been pirated 5 times in the last hour I'd avoid the next pirate coming my way too. That is part of the role play, you know. Just because some trader or miner outwitted you and escaped your attempt at piracy doesn't make them a bad player, it makes them a savvy one.

As for the F1 and switch to trader ship thing, that's easy. up the timer for coming back into the server from F1 to 5 minutes. Not much can be done if they're switching accounts but it would be nice if SS could lead to a sanctionable offense for OORP. Where I normally play the admins will jail / ban for suicide trading. Couldn't this be a similar issue?

FYI I voted to just turn it back on. Turns out an overwhelming majority agrees with me.
