Mining updates & miscellanous changes

[Hielor]

I read the mining guide in the wiki, and since the miner character is new, decided to obtain the DSE ID and IFF. After some successful mining of the helium, I tried the Tremont field and can validate that it is dropping platinum. The short haul to Philly though, still makes the helium more profitable as I can make multiple trips, but hey, glad to see it turned on.

Yesterday, I ventured into Colorado to check out the Silverton and Copperton fields. After approximately four hours combined through both fields, I had not a single nugget. :( That's using a DSE ID, DSE IFF, Mining turret, and a Basalt mining craft. The character can't afford a Hegemon, so it seems their best bet is to go back to the helium cloud with a Dromedary to earn enough funds to get a Hegemon.

Since leaving KU for summer break, I've had connection problems which make PvP a death trap and trading a pain with stuck gates and such. Mining, however, works and I'm finding it a great opportunity to RP the character.

I'm going to stick with it, but I guess I'm going to have to join the BMM or IMG after getting the Hegemon since I can't seem to find ore in Liberty.

Most mining nodes are turned off in Liberty, because there was too much lolwuttery when they were active.
