What I think I am going to do here is just keep hammering this point and reposting this thread over and over and over because there is no legitimate argument against boosting the sale price of uncut diamonds. Comparing it to the IMG niobium run which is the easiest run in Sirius due to lack of any pirates on the route at all (the few that are there are neutral/friendly with IMG) is absolutely ridiculous. The only danger is that you might run into a Hogosha, and that is all after you passed New Tokyo its basically a home free run.
Also I think that this is a case of unintended bias. Sorry Aet, I like you but there must be some reason why mining in Tau-23 doesn't die, but only mining in Omega systems is ever nerfed. At least Omega-7 mining is now sort of ok, but the price for diamonds still needs to be bumped to give people a reason to mine in the extremely unfriendly system that is Omega-11, and then carry said diamonds through several more systems of pirates who absolutely hate Daumann's guts, all the way into Kusari where they get pirated by Hogosha and Dragons one after the other.
