' Wrote:It's a shame there's a RPed smelter for gold in Londonderry... That would be the logical place for the ore to go, but it's too close. Options would be one of the Hessian bases, I guess. That would strengthen the ties between both of the factions of ex-miners.
Perhaps the Hessian's uncut diamonds could go to the Mollies?
An ore trade of gold to the Hessians and diamonds to the Mollys would actually be a pretty good way to go, since it would pretty much solve the issue for both factions.
Yes dam right iv been flying around in my mafic with mining turrets blazing, only to cry at my paltry 2 gold ore whilst bmm'rs cackle off into the distance with 3000 gold ore in thier holds.
And when i finally do fill up im left with nowhere to take it but arranmore - i mean how are the mollys even making any money with this RP????
Kudos to that guy who keeps bumping, this is the key importance of the mollys - they're only fighting so they can mine, but at this rate why bother?

What the mollies need is smugglers to sell their gold, to, not some new trade route so they can lolmine like the rest of Dublin. Actually, I'd really like if profits on any gold route would be decreased. I see too many cases of miners loading on their own transport, or simply mining ships transporting across half the galaxy.
Actually, strip 80% of guns from miners and transports. Get people to have to work together to make profit, for god's sake. 10+ gun mining ships, 12+ gun transports - this is a farce. And I'm saying that as a transport pilot.
I hate n00b/lolwut/OORP minegrinders, and this Molly gold route idea would only create more of them. Especially since they would use jumpholes, thus pretty much create a way for unchallanged powermining.
Also: what's with this thread necromancy? This thing was dead for over 3 months now.
Transports and miners are sitting ducks for pirates etc.
Doing anything to them now would unbalance things a bit too much.
Mollys ought to have a gold bonus but as they are classified as unlawful, they aren't allowed it, for balance reasons.
That said, the winds of change are blowing.
