Mining and Humboldt

[Zen_Mechanics]

Yup, However.. May I suggest buffing Dublin to 20k per unit ( I say Dublin because I'm obsessed by it ) - For one day. so that I can ( just for once ) enjoy one more time.. Holidays are coming, Comeon'e

First i do like to say nice that there's another mining area set up / revoked.
It makes it interesting - mining in a "Liberty Rouge territory" but mining never was easy. Good desicion.

BUT -im sorry to post this in this threat-

There is a thing that insults me and many others i talked to InGame. It's PoB('s) in the middle of the mining fields. (We) free miners do hit them unintended (with mining laser) and get red with the base. Then 2, 3 or more weaponplatforms start fireing at our hegemons etc. The place is done for this char minig. Only thing is renaming. Thats odd. Well we may join the group owning the base - sure more roleplay etc ... but then you are a worker for someone you may dont want to work for or they dont want you to work for. The other thing is you sometimes need weeks to find someone clearing you for this base. Or you have to apply via Forumlancer to get cleared.

This can't go on this way.

MY PETITION:
make it impossible to build a base IN a mining field. Move all bases in mining fields at least 5 k from the field

made personal experience in Picardie, O7, Nagano, (Long ago in ) O11, now Dublin, and many other places.

Sorry for the post not associated with the OP, but:

If you read back a bit, you'll see an answer to the PoB issue:

We have to sort a few issues, among ourselves, then the request will be filed.

"Well we may join the group owning the base"

You can reister on Saltese for FREE:

And use it for repairs, hiding place, ore exchange place; once you regiter, the base WON'T get red if you shoot it.

Once upon a time, I mined a crapload in Humboldt and piracy was rife then, too.

It's a huge system. It's out of the way. As everyone uses the player list: you can easily see things coming down ever so slowly and, perhaps, catch big fat 5ks of ore at the Magellan - Kansas jumphole.

Some people just can't be pleased. Trade lanes are too short (they are), non-tradelane runs are too 'out of the way'.

Wellp.

The PoB shouldn't be an issue since the ore still has to be moved down at some point. It doesn't magically munch the ore for profit. Since jumptrading was fixed, it's less likely that the Congress will jump that stuff down while enjoying invulnerability, too (:

Mining field where you can make money and be immune to non-cloaking ships or because noone will bother cruising hundreds of clicks to interact with people. Great way for AFK traders to get rich too. Well. This sucks.

Welcome to all mining fields.

There are many fields that don't have PoB directly in them making face-to-face interactions between miner and unlawful a possibility. I pirate in Alberta, because I don't need to cruise 200k out of my way to see someone dock or cruise into void to get interaction.

Question here.

Where's jumphole to Humboldt from Kansas? I was flying around the C7 and I found nothing.

Edit: Oh. I found it. I haven't expecting it in this place.

Edit 2: It's me, or drop rate is very... low? I mean, it drops every time, but it's like 1-2 units per shot. :|
