Mined in BWF last night for about 45 min. All my crokite is now being purchased for about 7K/unit (which is better than the previous price of 6K/unit).
For the second time, one of my "alliance mates" convoed me out of the blue to warn me/curse me about mining under such hostile conditions. So, I decided to write a "form letter" to send back in the future (since I don't have time to write so nicely when I'm trying to ninja-mine). This form letter was written during EVE downtime. :-)
=====================
Thanks for being concerned about my welfare while mining while hostiles are in BWF.
As you know, hostiles are often in BWF, and I have chosen NOT to let that deter me. Although I am still learning to be a ninja-miner, I am quite careful: Over the past few months, I've mined over 40 mil ISK in BWF and never lost a ship or pod to another player.
This has allowed me to contribute to the "war effort" via direct gifts of ISK for alliance ship replacement and group mining (not to mention joining PvP ops when BWF is too hot even for me).
Anyway, I really do appreciate the heads-up re: the danger in BWF.
Good hunting, and let me know if I can help you with anything!
