' Wrote:newbie, if you want to mine, get a small mining ship (spatial, maffic, etc), 2 freelancer id'd friends in bwt's and go mine, while they haul for you.
that's the teamwork mining concept, as opposed to the failing 'I mine it, store it, move it and sell it alone.' one.
Great for when you can all guarantee to meet up at the same times, but a piddly little fighter is no good when you are on alone for a couple of hours, while a transport is useful all the time.
Nahh, what with having to put up with the crap to get the mining bonus as well, I am just getting too disallusioned.
I think I'll become an evil scumbag who smuggles slaves and shoot the crap out of anyone who comes close enough to see me.
