It seems that field drain is on again.
This feature was deemed really bad and was killed off for a good reason by Alley's quick&dirty fix.
Other than that, I have found no mistakes with the mining as it is now.
It looks like a solid update now.
Mining time looks good.
Prices look fine.
Pirate activity is definitely up.
A few things might need to be discussed/adjusted:
> The unlawful selling points are in my opinion too powerful. Even I feel tempted to find a nice camping spot shortly in front of the selling point, and I am as far from a griever as can be. I am for making trading dangerous, but this one goes perhaps a bit too far.
> Existing field locations might need to be changed (already discussed with Molly field). Fields that have PoBs in them should be moved, so that this problem is solved. Field - Base distance should not be less than 15k, in my opinion. E.g. Gold field was moved away from the Molly spot that is covered with a PoB, and the Chester hole got the mining now. E.g. O7 has the same problem. The goal should be imo that the field is 25-30k from NPC bases of every faction that can access it - for gameplay/fairness reasons.
In general, I like it now.
Thank you for listening to the community and for putting in effort.
