The ''test'' began back in 2010, when we removed ore dropping into space as a commodity. The fact that this new system is too complicated without any actual reason (A ship and an ID surely should be just enough for a bonus) apart from just for the sake of being complex, along with nonsense such as paying ten times the value for ore than the finished refined goods - surely there is a better way, than making every single ID into a mining ID with their own ore. I am still very much certain that pirates needed to mine credits out of the faces of disobedient traders, instead of shooting rocks.
The sad truth is that there is simply nobody who is motivated to revamp it.
