[Server Config]Freighter mining advantage lost

[rwx]

Type: Server Config
Bug: The mining boni per ship class in minecontrol.cfg are all equal.

Code:

[ShipTypeBonus]
ship_class_bonus = 0, 1.2, 1.6, 1.0
ship_class_bonus = 1, 1.2, 1.6, 1.0
ship_class_bonus = 2, 1.2, 1.4, 1.0
ship_class_bonus = 3, 1.2, 1.6, 1.0
ship_class_bonus = 4, 1.2, 1.6, 1.0
ship_class_bonus = 5, 1.2, 1.6, 1.0
ship_class_bonus = 14, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0

Additional Information:
All listed ship classes have a mining ship bonus of 1.2.
This was previously a prerogative for snub miners (to fill the haulers faster)
Please revert the non-snub boni back to 1.0, assuming this was not intended.

I set this config up this way intentionally, based on the following logic/assumptions:

• Whether a ship can mine or not is not currently defined by whether or not it has bonuses defined. Ships that can mount mining arrays are ships that can mine. This is generally a (small) subset of all ships.
  
• We introduced mining containers, which act as a great equalizer for "old mining", and makes "small" differences in cargo space (like between fighters and freighters) mostly irrelevant.
  
• Smaller, more mobile ships with higher turn rates mine faster by definition. This makes the smallest miners the most effective regardless of bonuses.
  

I may be wrong, and we may currently be facing a Dunlin "old mining" meta. If so, please do let me know. If not, then everything seems to be working as intended, and we don't need random, opaque bonuses further complicating things.

The Dunlin has no mining bonus, no? (As in, it has the generic 1.0 and not the 1.2 'buff'). And I think it is the same for the Kamome, Kaiser, Rock Badger.
For reference, according to darkstats, Dunlin is class 6, which is clearly missing from the list in the first post. Classes 0 to 4 are snubs, class 5 has... no ship (???) and class 14 contains only Hege and Archon.
