Increase the need of ore mining/colecting

We all know that you can get more ore in less time from killing aliens or from skylab rather than collecting it, which makes pretty much pointless. I think that mining should have bigger importance for the economy, after all the three companies are fighting so they can mine the ore. My personal suggestion is when you collect a piece of ore you get random quantity of it (around 3-5, 1 or 2 if you aren't lucky). And replace the ability of skylab to mine ore with to be able to refine it to sellable and combinable state.

 

I understand this, on the front page of Dark Orbit it says 'The fight for essential resources has begun' or something like that and there isn't actually a big influence on the whole resources part, how about a module on CBS's that collect ore on the map the CBS is in as well and once it fills up, the resources are sold and the credits are added too the clans credit account balance? an idea of mine

 

That is a really good idea. And regarding the random quantity you get for a piece of ore, I think we should up it to 5-10 pieces. A module that collects ores is nice too. There would have to be restrictions such as having 30+ members before you can build a max of one ore picking module.
