well i dont pay ransoms for a few reasons
1 it upsets pirates which is good
2 i can replace my ship and mods quite easy
3 i have 6-10 mill profit at the end to make up for the trouble
4 i get most of the mins from recycleing poor npc rats loot so not a lot of mining if any
if i have any good mods or implants then i have got them from rats/missions/agent offers so dont to hard to replace
now if you claimed a system which i would like to mine or rat hunt then
if i am mining and you said this is my/our system and you have to pay 1 refine of the best ore in belt per 30 mins and we/i/pirate will kill the npc rats so you can mine
i would probably say ok/yes pls
if i did not then you can blow up the barge or what ship i was using and/or pod me as well
so basicly i am saying you can kill me and get the rat loot gear that i use and i ended with isk in the bank or you can work with me and i pay you in ore or loot if i rat hunt so pls yourself at the end of the day..

well your forgeting that we only mine to get us started and to get new ships we wnat to do the rat hunting/missions/ complexes/ and maybe a little pvp we are not mining all the time so no we dont max out the barge and if we are in empire then it takes longer to replace isk then to replace the barge so you figure that one out but if you ransom someone in empire then make it a little isk as its easy to pick up a bpc and make a new ship in a few hours but the poeple mining the good ore in 0.0 then thats when you should ask for more isk as it should take them more time and effort to replace the ship and mods and implants then in empire.. but then agian they be in an alliance so you might get taken out by his/her friends..

This is where the logic doesn't make sense though. Mining minerals yourself doesn't make them free... how much could you SELL them for? THAT is how much it costs you to build the Raven.
Thats if you sell them not everyone mines to sell so they are free

Time is money, however you look at it, surely? If you don't sell the minerals, you should at least value them for what they are, given the time you put into getting them?
true time is worth something i.e. a new ship or mod in this case
true in that 102m ship is 102m but your forgeting the insurance on the ship as well

getting back to topic
i buy a cyclone and insure total cost about 28mill
mods and implants are free as they are rat loot or agent offers
i get blown up by some pvper it ashame
but insurance pays me 22.5m
out of that i pay up to 12 mill on zyd and mega
nearly all other mins are recycled loot maybe a little mining then the insurance is another 6.5m total cost of second/thrid/fourth ship is 18.5mill and 4 hours to get mins and bpc to factory and build new ship so i get 4 mill + on that ship blowing up and the mods and implants i can replace for more rat loot amd agents offer which makes me more isk
so i can make 4 mill + profit on losing a ship(cyclone) and if i tryed to look at it your way i would more likely be P.O'd and quit the game as i had wasted time in trying to get good at what i want and play games on a pc stand alone,
it all depends on how you look at the game thats why poeple do different thing in games because they have different outlooks

I think your post went FUBAR, Andy, unless you were QFT, lol!
it did indeed go FUBAR on me twice and it was home time so i went home and this is my last post today as i am about to go on -line after i make a cup of tea and get some food
all i can think of at moment is that some of you have isk Fever and there is isk in them There hills
or the old saying gold fever"there is Gold in them there Hills"
Have Fun and not get Piff'd when you lose a ship..
