I personally recommend doing some work to justify that mining bonus instead of just asking for it. Here's an example of some work the APM guys did that you might be able to get some pointers from.
If I recall correctly, Phoenix has a bonus on Iridium, might be wrong though. Orex Industries' main activity is in fact Iridium extraction and our RP revolves around it. If we were let's say just a research Zoner group, I agree, asking for an increased mining bonus wouldn't make much sense.
Your point about Zoners not having, quote on quote, real hostiles is old news, Zoners are not immune to piracy just because you're not hostile to them, it's just that piracy is not worth the hassle these days. I, for one, am all for having dope piracy interactions, it's just that nobody's doing it.
But hey, three Months is a long time, there is a lot of RP to be done...
