Community Input: Mixed Mining Zones

[Sombs]

Mining is something that is generally looked at from differing perspectives. What is your preference? Please speak only for yourselves - you're adult people, everyone can type their own opinion on that matter.

I would like mixed mining zones so that singular bases have more to do and offer in a given area

Old mining in mixed zones should not be a thing. It wouldn't really matter if you have nu-mining for a valuable ore in a field of an old-school low value mineable, but two old-mining zones overlapping is a nightmare. I wouldn't wish the water jettisoning experience of cryo mining on my worst enemy.

This would depend on its implementation, though we all thoroughly enjoyed mining crystals in U4 for ages only to realise that you would end up with a decent portion as alien organisms. Or, as @TheSauron pointed out above, mining them lovely cryos only to have to keep ejecting water. Whats the scope of intended implementation? Normally people mine simply to mine commodity A for their purposes and thats all they want.

Is there some mix that would be a benefit for those of us who mine? something we may be missing out on when it comes to shooting rocks?

My concern with mining at all is vastly different from miners. Nu Mining takes way longer for most people when compared to old mining, from my experience, because I can generally catch and pirate miners in NuMining fields from 3 and 4 systems away, whereas miners aiming at old fields can be on and off ≤1 system travel time.

Given that, for the most part, I don't mine or powertrade, I assume old mining fields are better in active areas and new mining fields are better in inactive areas for the miners profits. My profits have been enjoying Nu-Mining, though.

I love the new mining, I also like mindless old mining. But as already brought up, overlapping fields are to much, let me clickly click without real deep thinking or let me mine the fancy stuff. But trying to mine the fancy stuff and losing the occasional shot to the old ore item is slightly burdensome
