The future of mining?

[Shardphoenix]

However, I begin to understand that stopping mining activity is a good idea. Now, a bit more of traders can be spotted, finally, some work to pirates and bigger traffic in spaces.

There is NO problem that can`t be solved by the use of high explosives.

Spread the mining spots instead of making Dublin zones ten times the profit of any other systems. This way we'd have mini New Yorks all over the place, instead of one New York and another retarded New York.

Gaiz, gaiz, guess what? There's activity both in Rheinland and Kusari! People are actually entering that dead space and exploring places like Dresden and New Tokyo! Amazing, isn't it?!

Q_Q my secret power-route revealed Q_Q Now I need to get back to trading artifacts... Turn mining back on! on a more serious note: there has always been commerce traffic through Kusari. Especially the ore-runners were easy prey in the dead hours. Was always fun to watch the wtf-reaction if a Samura ID actually made it worse if pirated by a blood dragon instead of saving them.

Go play the game, within the given limitations. That is how role play games are played. Not by trying to work around those limitations or whining about them.

If this will remain off for too long, It will slowly kill Disco.

Yeah, with the current profit of trading ya have to trade LONG time untill ya have money. Remember this is a game. No new players want to trade for months. A game is here to have fun, and for real fun and RP ya need to be equipped right, and for that ya need money.

Why not, if mining offline, why not to increas commoduties selling prices? Increasing selling price will add some profit and problem can be partly resolved. In general, trading could give 75% of mining profit. Then, I think, players can choice, trade or mining operations... If we have same number of traders and miners, there would be nice situation.

And there was good idea to add well payed missions with ability to earn some extra money there like missions agains capitals. Adding them, or increasing numbers of that hard missions, will make a good deal to.
Not disco in general, but people can take a way on other servers like UK, USA...

Why do you people want to earn credits so fast? I think, earning riches hard is a realistic option. Easy moneys... aren't so challenging, plus, it'll decrease numbers of lolwut capships.

I RPed without any problems after my first four runs. When I have bought BWT transport. My ever first character was a trader, and believe me, RPing as trader is fun too. Why you should begin from superhero which can pilot ships as ace and know stuffs?

I'm playing on this server with my friends. We all came here from some other Discovery server, and one thing, why we have chosen this server, was freedom. Freedom to be anyone, if you have the according liguistic and acting skills - from being a simple pirate, to piloting LN capital-class ship. Freedom to do anything you want, from trying to elude from Hogosha taxation in Kusari, to avioding Gallic Royal Navy fire, when on the long run to trade with Maquis.
The point is - everything was perfect to us. We loved to play, we sticked to rules of RP. After a while, we managed to find out, how profitable it is to mine ore. We built our strategy around it. And now, you are trying to take this from us? The very core of our business? To take our freedom to mine, and take all the risks of mining and all of it's benefits?
And what about the mining ships, mining factions and mining equipments, Miner ID, or even newbies, who mine Helium in Penn, or Iridium in Kansas?
I think it's our freedom, being taken away, slowly.
Regards everyone...

every pirate knows where to find a miner and getting more profit from them

Really guys, there was a full disco server before mining. Stop the Armageddon-countdown. The lack of mining won't kill the server, the general attitude of the community however may do so very well.

This.

earning riches hard is a realistic option.

We have real life for those realistic options.

it'll decrease numbers of lolwut capships.

To get to all the fun stuff you need at least VHF with au8. You need around 30 mils to set up one. Now make a new char and try grinding to 30 mils from a starflier with helium field off. After that return and tell us, how much fun did you have.
