Cap 8 Mining ships

[pipsqueak]

How exactly would that fit into RP? Especially in Kusari space for example where things are extremely tightly controlled and they are generally unwelcoming or suspicious of outsiders. Having a group of Miner bombers waiting acting as the guardians for the station killing off anyone not cleared? I don't think the Kusari Navy or Police would stand for any organization like this. Bounty hunters aren't even allowed past Deshima, why would they allow a "Miner Mafia" as you so put to carry out these kinds of operations? I am quite sure these individuals would be either jailed, expelled, or shot out of Kusari space. No one likes robbers and no one wants to look outside their window to bits and pieces of ships that have been blown up. House space is supposed to be well regulated, secure, and boring. Not the wild west

These new miner pirates, are essentially the same as old pirates, they just use hegemon ships which...are huge slow big easy targets for bombers IMO but regardless pirates are bad for House Space. An honest miner (Indie miner or corporation one, doesnt matter) gets held up and has his hold emptied. What would you do if you were in that situation? Call the nearest Police / Navy ship and explain what happened. Get someone to chase after those pirates and stop menace to society. If you are tired of the bureaucracy of dealing with the Law, hire a bounty hunter or merc to hunt the pirates down or serve as your escort.

I am thinking about making a Vigilante character hunt for evil miners in Liberty. Make people's lives easier.

Who says it has to be miner mafia?
Though remember m8, where there is money ther eis organized crime.
RP wise Miners could fuel the Kusari war machine against the Bretonian secretly for this favor.
The amount of money a miner can generate, he can buy off two or three KNF bombers to cover narita. If the guys name is in the list of cargo askers.... make sure they hit him on sight and hit him hard. and if he docks, thats the end of his day, until he returns the loot or the money back. Frankly KNF are lawfuls and they can hunt these pirates.

FYI I play a merc and have seen these "miners" gang up on transports to loot em and kill them...yes.... destory the ship after looting....Iand I am available for hire.
