Anyone know why the HBC went down from 200 mines to 150 mines? And particular reason it can't go back up to 200?

biased answer - because I never play human......

Seriously though, I remember the HBC losing a few mines way back when as part of an overall tweak involving a whole bunch of ships. I can't remember the details of the reasoning, but the HBC already has the largest mining capacity of any ship, the same defense as ships like the Rav, Juggernaught & Cara, a jumpdrive, plus a pretty decent trading capacity on top of that. The only downside relative to those other hunters is the lost HP, and the 40 drones take care of a good chunk of that offensive shortfall. No reason to make it even better.

If the HBC were to regain mines, it should lose half the holds.

Half wouldn't be suficient... Any person would give up 60 holds for 50mines as most people who go human have HBC in mind for mining up there gal.

The HBC was originally tweaked cause it had 200 mines, an extra hardpoint and I think it had a bit more defense as well.. People like Xian used this ship all game hunting up to like 80k xp. It was too good.

It could have 30 cargo holds for all I care...If it had 200 mines again...But then I'm biased for humans.

Okay you got me on that one.

Yeah that was also a main reason it lost some mines, and I think DC lost some as well, in response to the big mine wars that were happening back in the DC days.
