Logged in this morning to try out the gold ore changes in Dublin - and I have to say I'm quite excited about them.
The fact there is one gold ore field out in the Chester cluster is interesting. As I usually am 'Mollying', I am excited about the prospect of when I go out to mine - anything could happen. If no one shows up? Hold of ore, sweet. If a miner shows up? Piracy, sweet. If police/military show up? A getaway attempt/fight, sweet. what makes this even sweeter? There are now clear smuggle routes for Molly smugglers into Liberty with gold ore. (Disclaimer: These may have been around a while, but I've just stumbled across them being there for the first time). Friendly base to friendly base smuggling through one of the most populated and dangerous smuggling points in Sirius? Count me in.
All in all... in my small little corner of the Disco server, a Jazzi has been made rather happy.
Quick Edit: Oh, and please keep the Bactrian as a mining ship option for Mol's in the future. The thematic merits behind it as well as being an entry option for closed economy characters are awesome.
