mollies is miners gone "hatin'" on BMM.... and when they went nuts they lost all knowledge of mining? come on.... they might be drunk silly, but they gotta atleast have one sober miner in there to keep the tradition of molly gold going.
The reasons are, as Dusty said purely out of roleplay but should be concerning enough to effect the game.
Let's say that molly has even bigger activity than it has now, and their pirates are really really owning those damn fields and plundering all those BMM miners and whatnot.
Now lets say that suddenly, people realize you can mine with Molly ID as well. You would have 250 molly ID miners in the field, mining and, you would have their alt traders picking things up.
or even worse, and I can bet my cap8 on it, you would have an Molly miner and BowEX tradeship hauling the ore for him.
The reason mollies do not posses as good mining bonus could be justified by BMM's constant technological advancements and studies they can do from their lawful bases, while, inside that forsaken rock Mollies call base, there's simply not enough resources to focus on such great bonus on mining.
Either way, I do hope corporations retain the biggest bonus, because they all need love.

Ivan! shhh! You're giving away all of Bowex's secret dealings! You is spai!!!
In all seriousness, the Mollies with a mining bonus is going to cause headaches. Next is going to be a call for a place sell the ore (wait, already been done earlier) that Mollies can land on. You're going to have to fence it to Junkers or Zoners.
Also of note, is that right now there's a bunch of BMM miners in Dublin going to town on the mining fields, in fear of the Mollies (both faction and indy) coming in and pinching them. I personally agree with the prediction of an explosion of Molly-affiliated Hegemons (which begs the question where they get them from?) and a lot of over-system spam of "U no pirat me. Iz Molys".
Yes, I did. But since people seemed to get it, I didn't think it necessary to edit back.

But that would only mean BAF and BPA can put those Bretonia gunboats and stuff to good use on them, wouldn't it?
My stance:
Molly mining - exists in roleplay, it's the centre of the Molly economy.
It's how they survive. In game? It doesn't really work. Really. Molly miners in more than small amounts would be a really bad thing. Before the swarms of miners, this might have worked. Now, though, Molly miners will be so spammed that... the end of the world as we know it will come about.
Works in roleplay, not really in game.
Too much mud stirred up in the water.

I see your concern, but its not like the Mollies don't have enemies is it? There are the corsairs, and as i said earlier it finally gives Bretonia Police something to do. Not to mention The Kusari.
On an anti Molly piont though, that guy above is right, where do the mollies get the Hegamon (or whatever its called) i do think that BMM should still get a bigger mining ship as they have more money, and the Mollys could use a smaller better armed one. What does anyone else think?
