Then don't mine unless you have a transport handy. Easy solution, no?

You apparently missed the part where even if you *are* teamed up with a transport, it's still a problem, since you either need to start making an ore pile while the transport is on its way, or make the transport sit there and wait for 40 minutes while you mine (which makes it unprofitable for him).

I did mine with a Dacite. It can mount a CD and serious guns, so if anyone did pick up my ore, I was on his tail, and forced him to drop it. If one teams up with a SNAC-bearing Mafic, the thief won't even be able to get far from the field you mined.

I have a hard time believing that you'd be able to take out a well-armored transport in a Dacite before you ran out of CD ammo even if it's ignoring you and not shooting back.
