ETHICAL ISSUES
be done, because you are in a mining barge, and can’t really fight back, but you could fill a can in 25 minutes, so it is not that much lost productivity. The worst are the ones that steal if you are flying any other ships for mining, those ships can take a long time to mine with. Just be warned that when this new system comes in, I will fly a combat ship designed to destroy your hauler (most likely have a friend with me, and mine with my barge, its faster that way).

here is no doubt in my mind that someone reading this will use this information for the purposes of
evil, to that I say; go ahead, and do tell me your successes and failures. That way I can find a better way to protect against any unethical things people do, and build a better unethical person. After all, as much as I don’t like getting my ship blown up or damaged, that is what keeps the market going, and me making money.
Another unethical area is hunting
defenseless miners, and weak ships. You have a big powerful ship that can lock, jam, and drain my ship before I know what happened. Not that difficult with a barge, but what do you hope to accomplish podding miners? Miners usually have money, and lots of ore, so why not tap into this. Lock, jam and drain their ship so they can’t go anywhere, then demand a ransom from them. This way you profit rather than the ship builder. Don’t demand too much, or they are liable to smarten up and move so you lose income or mine with friends, and that just escalates to more losses. If you have some considerable power, and friends, offer protection services in low sec areas. Then you have miners working for you, which makes both parties happy. I would pay for safety so I could safely gather megacyte and morphite.
This section stems from the knowledge
that a criminal flagging system will be coming into place that will flag ore thieves so they can be destroyed by the owner and/ or gang and/or corp members. I highly deplore ore thieves, because they cut into my money making, and hard work. I respect the skills it takes to do it, as I tried it once, and failed miserably (damn code of ethics that says you have to give it back if you are discovered). I will divide ore thievery into 2 major groups; barges, and others. Those who sneak up and take ore from the jet can of a fully loaded Covetor mining barge mining a common ore. They are very annoying, and there is not much that can
