Grim, you said that you don't like to see Miners become useless and be replaced with Haulers. But with the economy as it was (until recently) meant that you could not get a hauling mission for more than ~20 units at a time.

While I don't see that this will make miners useless, I do see that this will allow haulers to have meaning again.

Oh, and Radi needs to change his status from TRI Classified to 'Status Pending' =P

Yeah I know.

I still plan on mining, especially with the contest coming up. It is kind of a bummer that the ore depots are automagically producing ore, but hopefully they know what they are doing, and they don't overload the economy.

Hauling missions are broken, so instead of fixing them, let's have the haulers get magic mining missions... At first I thought this fix was just that ore sold directly to POS would teleport to Ore Depot rather than SDS. Heck, if haulers need something to do why not turn ore teleportation off?

How do you NOT see how this makes miners useless? Gee grim, you could spend an hour mining the PMs in Aman Gate, or you could just wait for the server to see us being low and have the depots magically generate it. Now I can make just as much ore by NOT mining...

If haulers needed stuff to haul it could have been made so that first tier commods made huge quantities of second tier commods, and that it took huge quantities of second tier commods to make third tier commods. The ore extraction rate could have been tripled...or wait...you could take the freakin common ore out of rad, precious, and semi, and there would be large quantities of stuff other than iron to haul.

Cargo missions being broken (look for posts by Reece in suggestions for example) is no excuse to automagically generate commods. As Radi pointed out, it's not my game though. On the plus side, the econ won't even be able to tell I'm not mining anymore, thanks to the reason I'm not mining anymore.

He needs to change it to 'In Flight', which is why I gave him flak about it.

And to give me a hard time in game too?
