But that doesn't make the fact that PoBs inside mining field have considerably reduced the activity of pirates pirating miners. I have personally felt bad about DHC miners mining right next to the Edling PoB and when they see a RHA or some pirate, just quick dock there. It is easier to pirate haulers than miners now, sadly.
PoBs inside the mining fields are a cancer. period. Also, sorry for detracking there.
