Mining

[Syndic]

Ok--you fixed mining to actually make it RP-able AND profitable and as a result had tons of people mining. Now you are re-fixing it where it isn't so profitable and tons of people won't be mining.

Back to square one. Net is no change.

Is there some reason why mining can't be profitable? Doesn't have to be as profitable as a golden trade route but what the heck? As to "do it with friends" because we want interaction...that comes down to "join a clan".

Having people in the same place on a regular basis IS interaction. Pirates will figure it out too and start hitting them, traders will come, etc. I like the idea of mining spots closer to the best selling point so players can sell their ore to other players.

AS it is, its not much worth it to mine.

I have tried to rp a Corsair miner--gets shot up by BHs, Nomads, Players all while Corsair players sail by doing nothing. As said before, I make more on simply equipping fighting guns and armor and "mining" BH npcs and Nomads.

The way you had it was a step in the right direction. The way it is now is simply stepping back to where you were.
