Why move the Xeno Relics mining field out of Gamma? Seems like this move will affect Puerto del Sol POB as most of the RP that I have had there revolves around mining.
Given that POBs are very time consuming to build and maintain, Just wondering if there are any other Mining POBs that have been affected by an ore field being moved to an adjacent system.
Why would Order have a sellpoint for Raw hydrocarbons, half of sirius away, but not Iridium ore, a couple of systems away? being unlawful as they are, I dont see the rationale behind taking way the sell point for a Ore Order can mine and instead getting a random sellpoint.
Have you guys figured out how to adjust the mechanics themselves so to make mining a group thing again, for high-value ore above 4k per unit? It is rather sad to see such a mechanic go to waste as POBs allow self-mining in the stead of large/daily mining operations.

As long as we don't get any shenanigans like Uncut Diamonds being sold for 12k/unit in New London, I'll be happy. Adding more sellpoints in general is always a good idea. I'd also suggest giving ores that are very hard to mine such as Iridium a slightly higher profit.
Just a few small things. Premium scrap going to Dortmund and especially Pittsburgh seems like too short a route to me.
I strongly object to the Iridium ore buyer moving from Dortmund to Oder. Radiation shielding alloys (which would require Iridium) are ALG's thing and it's pretty essential to our roleplay involvement in the region.
I don't know how having Cobalt in Omega-7 and 47 would work, since all buyers would be closer to the O-7 mining location.
Anyway, I look forward to getting the final data so I can update my cool mining spreadsheet. Is the suggested field distance from buyer formula still on the table?

In the same grain as this, it would be really cool if when you mined the ore dropped in space, and people would have to tractor it. Yes, it makes stealing ore possible, and ore being destroyed would be what bird culture considers a dick move, but it would encourage escorts and rp around the mining, as it creates new ways to interact.
