Is it possible to "mine" H-fuel in this current version? I haven't exactly checked, but it could be a cool idea.
It'd definately improve my GMG Gas Miner's RP a lot.
Perhaps the "asteroids" could be floating pockets of concentrated gas? The gas could be the raw gas in real-life terms, but it'd count as H-fuel for in-game purposes.
There is a topic raising issue of mining: Here and it could work only on under one condition, this was already discussed in that thread, that is incrasing prices from mining goods. In my modest opinion it could incline people to mining and fallowing on from that develop RP around miners and possible creation of mining faction with the full meaning of that word.
Now I dobut that there is even a couple of real miners up there in the whole Sirius.
Dunno if it's possible to "mine" h-fuel, never found any asteroids field like this. But my vote goes for it.
At the moment there is nowhere you can mine H-fuel.
However I think it should be possible, even feasible, to have an asteroid field with rocks of frozen H2. After all, right now you can mine O2, hydrocarbons, and what have you.
While I do agree with any buff to mining, I just want to mine H-Fuel on my Gas miner (hehe). The problem is, mining needs to be the same efficiency as trading. If it becomes more profitable than trading, everyone would mine. It'll be harder to balance, as mining would be group-based while trading is (usually) solo-play.
About the H-Fuel mining, it would be fun for my GMG characters,I would hide next to another gas miner and sit there until I get a full hold. I think RPing pirates would avoid me... Maybe

I like the idea of H-fuel mining... and can't see why it would be a problem.
On the side discussion... I REALLY love the idea of minig becoming a profitable as trading...miners are stationary and a long way from dock... so they are easier to pirate too... which means that they will pay for escorts... and hey presto a food chain arises!
Yes, that's the point, trading is almost solo-play in majority of cases, but when mining of any of the availbe resurces would become profitable as well as trading, it could develop great field of possibilities to RP while mining. Escorts/Mining Ships/Transports from mining area etc.
It could be a great thing and I would surely find it a way more enjoyable then trading.
