As my adventure of having a small Mining company for like 2 years or getting close to I have never really needed to bother with the proper IFF/ID Ship combo. But times have changed and so has my company. On the part of searching for new places to mine I discovered the on of the major needs is a home base that is friendly to dock at. Seeing that the Mining ID says we are not to dock at any Faction Mining Bases I had to wonder.
1.) How many Official Mining Factions do we have?
2.) If the base I need to use doesn't have a Official or Player Group faction to represent who should I contact for Docking rights?
As I see it, It is against the rules to dock at bases like that with the Miner ID so clearly it would need to be discussed on forums. Which brings me to the next, would or could I SRP my entire Player group for a mining location such as o-11 or o-7?
I know of 2 official factions that "run" the bases in O7 and 11. DHC- and IMG| and I think Kruger| is in the process of becoming official.
In our case (DHC) in the past the IMS tried to get a treaty with us, everything was woking fine until they didnt comply with their own conditions:P. So I guess something could be arranged in your case, but that is not my decission to make, you will have to speak to Wolfspirit for that one
My suggestion, dont try operating with Miner ID in O7 or O11, a heavy corporation war just started there. Our Patrol wings, the whole BHG| and a dozen of mercenary look Miner IDed targets. Almost same the IMG ID too. I suggest join to DHC- or Kruger| or search another place.
Thanks for the info, Yes the corp war I missed I pulled ZMC out before we could be identified as targets, which i would have no problem spilling blood for ore. Just in a system more closer to home. That ..and another big reason why I am not part of it is that my vessel and my ZMC vessels have seemed to vanished.
THUS!!!
I have to wait before sneaking my way back down there.
