No more Gold mining for GMS ID? - Omi - 01-14-2015
Why was this decision taken?

Wouldn't it be (gameplaywise) interesting to have GMS raid-mine in Dublin? Would make Dublin interesting again.

It was on about a year ago when I first arrived on GC, it was turned off; we were told for "balance" reasons

This makes no sense considering that there is a Gallic battleship stationed in Edinbourgh. In fact we had made a whole faction and player owned base (R.I.P Pont du Gard) around mining in other houses and usurping their resources. Makes perfect tactical sense as it is resources denial while not needing to burn your own reserves. It brought players here from the flagging Disco Redemption server as well.
Considering that there is a history of this group mining Gold, them suddenly forgetting how to do it makes no sense. Just another reason you may as well delete Gallia.

It would. It's something we used to do (albeit on a very small scale) over a year ago in GRN|. If Redon were still around, I'm sure he'd remember.
It is, as I'm sure you've guessed, also the reason why we showed up in Dublin earlier today. However, I didn't realise at the time that the mining bonus had been turned off.
Personally, I was very excited for the Gold Ore buff for this reason. The idea of GMS, BMM, their respective house militaries - and even IMG - butting heads in Dublin as everyone rushes to take advantage of the big profis now on offer is something I already started working towards.

I'm all for this

According to this thread the lack of Gold Ore bonus is going to stay.
The intended multipliers for GMS are:
- Aluminium - 4.0x; Picardy
- Berylium - 4.5x; Tau-23
- Niobium - 3.0x; Tau-23
- Hydrocarbons - 2.0x; Tau-29
- Platinum - 2.0x; Nagano (?!)
The first 4 make sense but the Platinum is too far out of Gallic-controlled territory. Why not swap it for a 2.0x Gold Ore multiplier if more bonuses are considered "unbalanced"?

The Platinum coming out of Kusari would be relatively safe for GMS, considering the diplomacy, whereas the big bonuses for beryllium would be because GMS would have to actually " raid" Cambridge to get it, whereas Gold seems a bit easier, given distance and diplomacy with IMG & Mollys.
I dunno. A 1.5 to 2x multiplier would probably be good.

The GMS Beryllium field is in Tau-23, next to Indochine.
