Well, if you want the mining system to succeed, then why punish the people who DO hire others to protect them by nerfing the mod all over the place?
Ex: I had a Junker Salvager and I would scrap mine down in New London back when the scrap sold good a few jumps away (not saying for the sake of spoilers). I had a couple bombers and fighters protecting me and a couple of other scrappers who were out there as well. Within a few weeks, I'd made in upwards of 4 to 6 billion credits working together. Then, Murphy reared his ugly head and corrupted the characters (because I'm a moron) and I lost all that money.
When I went back with my friends to mine again, I discovered that the price had been nerfed by 6,000 credits!
So, now, because the mining mod is being nerfed because of pirating/people going at it solo/people QQing, you're punishing, yes punishing, the people who do work together to make it work. I'm getting tired of having to make a new tagged and IDed miner every other patch because of nerfs on the mining mod.

P.S. I don't mean to QQ, but it's kinda hard not to when you're so frusterated about the entire thing.
