i'd carry on mining and benefit from mineral supplies drying up and i'd sell all of mine at outrageously high prices and laugh at the idiots not mining.

Nothing.

First it's impossible to organize something like that; there's always someone who will bring out the barge despite all attempts at a strike.

Second, there are stockpiles of minerals, rather large stockpiles.

Third, once it becomes profitable, the missioneers would bring out their barges and mine.

and they'll buy it with isk they pulled out of their ass since they aren't mining and thus have nothing to sell to fund this enforcement...

they should either move to quieter systems, or log in closer to downtime, or quit bitching.

Pretty sure it was a side effect that was entirely intended by the people whining in order to get their ships buffed.

PS. You can't legitimately call it a rebalance instead of a Buff when every ship got significantly better.

Miners wont cooperate for mutual defense, mutual offense, or much else. Goodluck making them cooperate for a strike.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Come on, they're perfectly balanced. That's why you see an even mix of them in the belts.... oh...


My God, it's Full of Macks!
