We did not declare war. Your attack on me was unprovoked. For someone who claims not to want war you have a strange way of showing it. You, sir, are a liar and a warmonger.

You forgot thief.

We know where you are. You declare this war - you pay the price.

1) I have never dropped coms on you intentionally. Especially since I left SPQNR. Proof is required for such an allegation.
Gildavinor here ... You have dropped many coms, and were warned for them, while still a member of SPQNR. You always conveniently blamed your inadequate script writing skills.
2) Your reaction is disproportionate. A warning message would have been sufficient and compensation would have been forthcoming.
See above ... you were warned before you were ever booted from SPQNR.
3) I do know everywhere you have timers and I have thousands of coms stored for ring 1. Why would I drop just one randomly on you? Why not all of them just on your timers?
4) I have been playing a short time and have never sought war. You are old enough to know better.
You have been a warmonger since you were first admitted to SPQNR. The posts on our board to back this up are burried deep, but I remember them
5) You have damaged the spirit, achievements and ethos of SPQNR by ignoring your own rules and constitution.
It is well within the purview of the leader to make a retaliatory attack. Your dropping of the Coms was an offence against SPQNR. It is my opinion that you did it in an attempt to retaliate for being booted.
6) I will consider an apology and an offer of compensation.
As will we.

You were kicked out of SPQNR because you couldn't play by our rules. You continually jumped claims by mining deposits already purchased by other Corp members. You argued with every edict sent down by the Consuls.
It isn't easy to get booted by us. I believe it's only happened once before, (long before my time). Now you try to pick a fight??!!
You know that wouldn't be profitable for either of us, but we are an active Corp, with a diverse membership and many allies. We will survive.

Guess you shouldn't have dropped those two COMs on me, huh?

Today, April 5th, 2020—a date which will live in infamy—the peaceful science foundation of Omicron Theta (Orion) was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the leader of SPQNR, Consul Regnad Kcin.

Omicron Theta was at peace with that corporation and was still in conversation with its members and its Executive Council looking toward the maintenance of peace in the universe. Trade with members of that corporation was continuing. Communications with members of that corporation contained no threats or warnings.

The attack on the neutral planet of Eta Sirius has caused severe damage to Orion naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many Orion lives have been lost. In addition, Orion ships have been reported torpedoed in space.

SPQNR has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the galaxy. The facts of today speak for themselves. The people of Omicron Theta have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our foundation.

As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Orion people and AI's in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us.

I ask that other corporations consider their position on this situation and declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by SPQNR on 5 April 2020, a state of war has also existed between them and SPQNR.

1. OP, can you explain how this reduces the gap between low level players (slow miners) and high level players (fast miners).

2. And you say PT mining is overpowered. Do you mean prospector missions are overpowered? Can you explain and how.

In my own experience, mining profit is mediocre, and it's more time consuming (and risky because you can lose miners and stations to PvP) than COM's. When I first started out, I did a lot of mining and enjoyed it. It's easy to do if you find vacant planets and somehow it made more sense to me than COMs. I guess what I didn't like about mining was it didn't scale. I enjoyed just finding a planet with a decent deposit and stripping it. But the deposits didn't get better (like into the millions of solars) unless I did prospector missions.

Right now, I'm going to experiment with doing prospector missions and stripping gas giants as a side activity. One thing I found during my play is it's not fun to do just one thing. Like JUST doing COMs. I like variety, so it's nice, if you got the time, to have a ships doing SOS, COM, exploring alien sectors and mining.

Look forward to your repy.

Update: miner#(11227) has change name to Marcus

What is he playing? Hide-and-seek?

Actually yes. He is taking names as similar to reputable players as he can in hope of causing chaos and confusion. As long as you pay attention to the number instead of the name you will at least know who is robbing you.

I see. Well we do remember the old farmer_ben XDD

No, thats actually not the case.

I relisted my own finds using their original numbers on my own board so that they could still be used by SPQNR members. The increment started from there for all new finds.

The two databases are almost identical so that my finds can be inserted into SPQNR and vice versa.

 In any event, my board is open for business and is available to all captains.

Anyone found mining one of the listed finds without claiming it on the board will be considered to be claim squatting.

Any captain can add their own claims to the board also.
