Greetings,
I tried to use this manual http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Mining_Guide#Going_Solo to become an independent miner.
but "/restart miner" command and "/restart Liberty" command do not work. Please tell me what am I doing wrong?
English is not my native language, so the text can be a lot of mistakes
The tutorial is sort of outdated. First of all, check "/showrestarts" command in game. The restart you are looking for Miner ID is "/restart beginner". However, I'd rather advise you to try IMG restart, since Miner ID cannot dock on any base that belongs to purely mining corporation (IMG, GMG, Kruger, BMM, DSE(?) and some others) and if you are caught inside someone else's mining field, you can be KOS.
I agree however that it is pretty harsh that current Independent Miner ID form is treated as "Penny Noob ID", especially with all these rephacks towards unlawfuls, while to my taste it is as generic as Freelancer ID and should be more universal - as unlawfuls would be also interested into gathering resources, e.g. to sell them onto black market.
