The gap between miningyield and invested time is still too big to even consider mining. At the Moment Mining is more an RP thing.
To mine a 200k Astroid i need a lot more time, a lot more investment in laser, fighter, fleet and get way less results.
So nerfing Scrapping is a good start to get a good economy starting, buffing mining should also be a part of it. (besides the efficiency buffs)
Both mining and scrapping are fundamental...kinda romantic parts of surviving in a hostile universe.
Give mining maybe a little bit rng. Ur like a goldhunter :D so why dont u find precious metals to sell or gems or treasures...you see my imagination is pretty basic. Im sure there are poeple out there with better ideas.
Anyways, glad about the lots and lots and lots of patches and improvements, keep it going. awsome game :D
