Mining Zones with scanner inhibition

[SnakThree]

Piracy is MEANT to require skill. It's a challenge, not a right, to succeed in piracy.

"Winning" piracy interaction should indeed require skills. By either side.

I actually managed to pirate few people in POB-secured-mining-field. In cloaking Cruiser. I don't call that skill. I call that investment and leaving no chance for miner. Which is not fun for either side.

Being on equal terms, with equal chances and opportunities is what should be aimed for. It is as if only pirates should require skill to be successful, while miners and traders can make money all day long, and should pirate dare to ask for 10% profit from last/next hour of moneymaking activities, all hell breaks lose when people such as before start going with "Kill me. It's cheaper" type of attitude. These people are twats too, because they screw over pirate, who invested time into being the bad guy on server, a role that is certainly never appreciated by majority of moneymaking players, to fill in the gap to make this game more exciting.

It makes me sad that some people think "good" pirate is the one who talks a lot or demands less. That's being considerate player, but not a good pirate. Sportsmanship/fairness/consideration and immersive roleplay are not always mutually included in interaction. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But if you always see miners docking or fleeing from Mining field once you hit 15k, you stop going there and then those same miners get used to immunity and no danger, until they meet pirates on trade lanes or jump gates and are clueless onto how pirate-trader interaction goes.

I am about to make semi-RP trade manual for Ageira~ to include a lot of tricks and tips I learned over the years. Perhaps this could raise the "competetive" level of miners/traders who would invest a bit time into reading.
