The Miner ID.

[darthbeck]

Magnarot has a point. All the times i've met miner pirates have been in the same system as the sell point. Which makes them a little too close to normal pirates...

But, I'm still serious about that "May only participate in unlawful actions outside of House Space" being added to the Miner ID. That would make sense... otherwise we have Daumann, DSE, Kruger and BMM etc... miners with the generic ID due to its piratical advantages over their ID.

I would like that.

Hey, wait a minute...

Come to think of it, the one (1) time I was pirated for ore, (because I never shipped it again while the boom lasted, due to time constraints) it was on the lane from Shinigawa to Narita.



Interesting, that.

As I see it, here would be a rather viable solution:

Create an ID that would be a mix of miner and pirate IDs (Pirate Miner?), which would allow to demand ore/uncut diamonds, while remaining unlawful.

Create higher ore prices at different unlawful bases so that Pirate Miners have a place to sell their ore.

Remove the "demands" line from the Miner ID, thus making the ID a tool for people who want to mine but don't want to join a faction.

Keep in mind that I do not know how much work that would require. It's simply an idea.

All of you need to stop whining at us and try whining at the people that are supposed to be protecting you.

This isn't a whinefest, it's a pretty intelligent discussion. Of course, it is about balancing...

[pipboy]

So don't call it whining, call it complaining. Same difference.

Where is the KNF/KSP and LN/LPI?

Don't talk to the pirates, talk to the people that are supposed to be stopping them.

I'm actually thinking of paying Rogues a protection fee. Call it paying for their piracy, and them offering help from other pirates.

Now see? That is one of the most intelligent ideas I've heard so far on this topic.

Well done Magnarot. Well done.

Now I'm actually really excited about the upcoming RP. Thank you. And I'm being very sincere here, I really am excited.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that's supposed to happen, get creative and solve the problems. Don't ask for the game to change, change the way you play the game.

I've seen miner ID'd Pirate Transports today. Ugh.

I want to get off Mr. Igiss' wild ride.

[BaconSoda]

Now, Miner IDed Pirate Transports are a bit off. These are the kinds of ships that police or navy should give a "Complementary escort" to in order to make sure they are actually mining. You know, keeping the law and all.

[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

EDIT:
Have you ever once considered that other people are RPing here and have done things and considered things that would, I don't know, compensate for some RP consequences. Hell, has anyone ever considered reporting us to the LN or LPI or LSF and Faction Right 5ing the miner pirates? It really wouldn't be a surprise, and we've been talking about it since we started to test this. Enough DSE have been pirated to Faction Right 5 us into the stone age.

One /renameme and a couple bribes later, and then we're right back at square one. That solution doesn't work, and there's no way to prove they've done it.

Don't ask for the game to change, change the way you play the game.

That's a good quote right there.
I just wanted to point that out.


Now, to be constructive with this post:
Note that anything I say should have very little if any weight, considering I've only been back
to the mod for a few days and only have about 3-4 hours of playtime on my new
and only character. I do still have an opinion here, though.

My mercenary for the time being is lawful, and for about 3 of those 3-4 hours I've played on it
I was escorting a miner. During those two hours, all I did was fly around and warn the miner
when anyone fishy got close. That's IT. I saved that miner from 2 out of 3 pirate groups, and
the only reason the last guy got close was because I took a break from patrolling to pew a few
rocks. Even counting that one that slipped through I'd consider that pretty successful, and it was
so...so easy. Hell, I did it in a Civilian Shuttle(Kushan LF) without firing a single shot or having a
single shot fired at me.

Personally, if one of the three or four miners I'd flown by without a worry had pirated my miner I
would have been taken completely off guard. I would have been surprised, excited even that
something interesting actually happened while flying circles around a miner.

From my extremely limited experience, Mining ID's allowing ore piracy is a nice touch. It seems
to make mining and escorting less brainless.

Edit:
I did not vote, for underlined reasons.
