I am kinda surprised... +1 for IMG|, their mining actions are awesome. They have miners, transports and escorts making it a bit more enjoyable than lonely miner sitting in the field.
Guys, this is MULTIPLAYER and RP server. If you fear pirate, while you are solo-mining(0% of interaction) then just don't mine... PoBs in the field are killing interaction (said in previous pages). I would love to see a lot of you guys playing 1.0 version with mining allowed, what would you do without PoBs? If you had just your NPC bases? PoBs wouldn't be a problem if you GUYs weren't afraid to lose around 5M... Even if your profit in the end will be around 40-50M.
Miner pays pirate, pirate is happy, Happy pirate means more piracy, more piracy means more RP interactions.
