Mollys and Mining

[Guest]

Bit of a necromancer are we?

Either way, they should get a bonus for mining gold.

Selling to the Hessians also sounds like a good idea.

Junkers can ship it off for you.

I don't see whats the big problem in selling it for 10k or even less. It would sure make you popular with indie traders and junkers.

Keep in mind that's what I do with every cargo piracy, I just saw it pointless to create an ALT char to haul for me and keep all the cash that way because... other players need love too.

I would be happy if factions as Corsairs, Hessians or Mollies get an mining bonus on their ID.

Keep in mind, miner ID, hessian IFF grants you mining bonuses.

Oh, we've plenty of smugglers to take gold we've mined elsewhere.
We sort of have to, because the only ships we get mining bonuses in are Barghests, which don't have a whole lot of cargo space to begin with.

Hi.

This topic has come up many many many many many many times now.

The mining mod was designed to give a boost to corporate groups which otherwise did not exist.

Pre mining mod Molly: Dammit man where's BMM we don't have our mortal enemy to shoot at this blows. Dublin is empty and there is nothing for us to do I know let's camp West Point.

Post mining mod Molly: GIVE ME A PICKAXE OR GIVE ME THREAD

I am extraordinarily wary of spreading the love by giving mining bonus' to pierat groups such as the Hessians, Mollies and so on. To be honest they generally have the hardware advantage over the corporations as well as the numbers. So what does this mean?

It means you will wake up, undock from Arranmore to find that the 8 BMM mining ships that you spotted yesterday and considered to be a tasty dish have been replaced with 8 Molly mining ships.

There will be lots of Mollys on the server all of a sudden. But not very many "Mollys", if you catch my drift.

<strike>Then you'll get angry and demand that the Molly bonus be removed</strike> Actually you'll probably all buy battleships and shoot the BAF. But I still think it's a bad idea.

I get what you mean. Suddenly everyone would mine as a molly to receive immunity vs mollies. Yeah.

Oh well.
I guess you'll have to get back to same mining as I do sprolf.
Hit the miner few times, ore falls out. Mining.

You mean like when you have an IMG tag?

hmm.. I dont see 30 IMG Mining around arranmore so please excuse my skepticism.

my advise simply would be to make a Molly miner that holds..say 1500 ore? 80% bonus of IMG and BMM. Then make the route to the Hessians -not as good as Ingol- due to shorter distance.

I see quite a few IMG miners in Dublin, but I see more BMM, because they have the higher mining bonus on Gold. I do agree with Dusty though, if you the Mollies got good mining, there would only be molly miners in Dublin...well, and Samura.
