Dunno if you guys noticed, but now there are many new mining fields open that still sell in Narita. I've found two other fields. Pirate free. I suggest you guys head out and check them out. I found a field that sells $3,000 less per unit but has 4x the drop rate and no pirates to steal my ore.
What's needed are ultrashort, short, and medium range fields.
Ultra short would be java station during the .85 beta period, you mine in a field rite at or within 10k of the a sell point. Much lower profit over time, but good for quick hauls and new players.
Short would be having to travel the length of a system, prehaps just on the other side of a gate.
Medium would be 1-2 system transit distances
And long would be like the penn-NT run, or longer.
Prehaps make all BMM/IMG and other miner faction bases buy ores too, with prices depending on the stations distance from fields.
Yes, please keep the lolwut pirates in Liberty, away from my lovely 63mil run.
Or my 10 minutes 11mil one.

One little snag with this, though, is that the fields in Penny are all independent. Anyone can mine them. Fields like the ones in Omega-7 are all corporation owned, if I remember correctly. Some people are hesitant to join corporations to mine when they can remain independent and still get pretty high profits from Pennsylvania.
I say we ought to take silver out of Pennsylvania entirely, and just leave it with the platinum around Tremont. There are a handful of other places to mine silver, anyway, so it's no big loss. And if people still want to mine silver, they can go elsewhere for it.
I agree do not tell people where the fields are. After all the name in "Discovery". I myself left Penn,and have found a cozy little rock field of my own. Not even any other miner's around. I also make alot more now, because no pirate's :yahoo:
