Lord Eidolon	Posted - 2004.06.07 18:16:00 - [1] [Press Release] Gallente Union (GU) to outlaw strip mining The Gallente Union (GU) is planning to impose a ban on the strip-mining of asteroid belts throughout the Gallente Federation. The ban was proposed by GU Councilor Icchan, at a session of the Gallente Union High Council. He spoke of the damage being done to both the environment and the Gallentean economy, and stressed that continued strip mining would only be detrimental in the long-term. Lord Eidolon, GU President, decreed that a committee would be established to further investigate the matter and report back to the High Council with their findings, before a final decision is made on the ban. -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation "Your ignorance...amuses me."
Lord Eidolon	Posted - 2004.06.10 12:52:00 - [2] Our committee is still looking into this matter. -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation "Your ignorance...amuses me."
Lord Eidolon	Posted - 2004.06.14 14:21:00 - [3] It has been decided that for the time being, the GU is going to concentrate on policing a select few systems. Now that internal affairs are starting to progress more smoothly, we will be making a start on enforcing this ban soon. Watch this space. -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation "Your ignorance...amuses me."
Lord Eidolon	Posted - 2004.06.19 20:04:00 - [4] Originally by: Rhuu Any organization that assumes a title with Gallente and claims to have something for citizens of the Federation, but is instead an authoritarian structure that posts the results of clandestine meetings of councils and assumes that these results will be acceptable by the free-flying many or enforcable by their small numbers is the sign of wrong-thinking leadership. If my personal support would go to any pilot union, it would be one where all members have an equal voice, and its official spokespeople are put forward on an as-needed basis. That's exactly what the Gallente Union is trying to achieve, and we're making progress. The more Gallenteans who get involved, the more representative we will be for our race as a whole. -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation "Your ignorance...amuses me."
Lord Eidolon	Posted - 2004.06.24 18:44:00 - [5] Following our recent High Council meeting, the "ban" has been postponed while our Home Secretary works on specifics. We have taken much into consideration and there is likely to be a change in strategy. Watch this space... -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation "Your ignorance...amuses me."
Lord Eidolon	Posted - 2004.07.01 16:55:00 - [6] STRIP MINING GUIDELINE ISSUED Informing message for all miners about strip mining: Strip mining means mining an asteroid belt completely of asteroids. Now everyone knows from physics classes that all mass has a gravity field. As long as there are asteroids in a belt, their gravity will collect more asteroids in it. If a belt is strip mined, it is by pure chance that an asteroid sets in orbit of a planet and then start collecting more asteroids in its gravity field. So strip mining has an undeniable effect on economy, because proper mining techniques will make sure that there are more asteroids to mine. This will ultimately increase the amount of needed minerals in the market and would probably bring their prices down to normal levels. Strip mining could also have an ecological impact, as now belts also act as barriers and asteroid collectors. Without belts asteroids would roam solar systems freely and might eventually hit planets. An asteroid as large as the largest veldspar asteroids could destroy all life on a small planet. Guidelines for mining: When you mine in groups and have enough miners to strip mine a belt, leave behind one asteroid of each type before moving on to the next belt. Asteroids will appear in that belt much faster and you may mine in that same belt much sooner. This will reduce the need to keep moving mining operations to different systems to find belts that still have asteroids. I'm sure anyone with a little sense in their heads will realize how much more efficient this method is in the long run. Respectully yours, Icchan Home secretary of Gallente Union -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation "Your ignorance...amuses me."
