' Wrote:The problem with that system is that many ore packets in space seemed to generate a bit of server load - it's a performance measure. You are aware of the new feature where, if you have another ship selected, mining will fill it's hold, rather then your own? This allows small transports to effectively fill transports, it just means the transport has to be physically there (and therefor becomes a target itself, for unlawfuls, rather then hugging the nearest base until there's cargo). The Basalt however is a pain in the rear due to it's rearfiring turret, recommend using a Dacite or Mafic instead.
If you want temporary storage capacity, team up with a Hegemon and fill that using 2 miners. If you want to mine alone and generate an ore cloud to sell? Well. Too bad.
I'm aware of the feature. But I like being independent and not relying on other people. I admit, I did fill my own Shire, because of my mentality regarding others, which is not to rely on them. Losing five ore clouds because nobody was around to purchase them forced me into action to be more independent of haulers.
The reason I chose the Basalt is because I'm trying to role-play something different. I see expensive ships like Hegemons and Mafics everywhere and I'm thinking: How are small-time miners affording these in the first place? InRP it doesn't make any sense. It's like everybody driving Ferrari's without an explanation on how they got the money to buy one.
