Quite a few were 'non-profit' making Bases ie, the Miner sold to the Base for a price and the Haulers buying for the same price. The Base Owner picking up the tab for the upkeep.
Now Ores aren't worth hauling as the Refined Goods are the 'new' ore.
This describes myself as a player explicitly.
And it's something which as a player who has RPed as a metal and ores hauler, (since WAY before it was cool and profitable) I find especially distressing.
I was initially excited about the coming of refineries, but their current implementation is 'meh...' at best. And I would think that a long time player specializing in ore & metals holding this opinion might be a bit of a telling oPiNIoN?
