I was wondering why is the mining bonus is so low (2.5x) for unlawful factions? I know mining is a side job for unlawfuls besides terrorizing and pirating lawfuls, but this option is far less utilized as it could be, don't you think? Both unlawful factions with mining capabilities originate from mining factions, and they can steal up-to-date equipment, so I see no RP reason why the bonus should be lower than other mining factions.
I think their mining bonus need to be buffed really badly - As for unlawfuls, have fewer places to dock, dangerous routes, higher chance of the cargo being stolen, or the ship is going to be destroyed.
Nowadays, everyone likes to be lawful, neutral, but unlawfuls need a little more activity.
Maybe a bigger mining bonus (x4.0, maybe x5.0) can be used to bring up some poeple's attention, and bring some activity to those groups.
Why would you bother, if you can mine miners and traders?
OCs and Corsairs had a mining bonus. Nobody ever used it.

This is the only reason I see against buffing unlawful mining bonuses and selling prices: Lawful mining companies are already struggling for activity, other than that it would make a lot of sense for me.
DSE mines a lot in Alberta. IMG mines a lot in Dublin (also BMM here) and Tau-23. GMS mines a lot in Tau-23. Daumann mines a lot in Munich. GMG mines helium-3 quite much. I see a lot of mining activity around lately, I don't know why you say mining corporations have activity problems. Maybe less officials and more indies.
Well, Kruger cannot mine anything effectively lately (no one ships silver and copper from O7 anymore, and Daumann has higher bonus for alu), so it is bad for them. DSE has only one viable source in Alberta to mine. Daumann only mines aluminium. Maybe these could be fixed (with viable trade routes) and activity would increase.
