A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. The treasures on lavaland are among the most powerful and dangerous of any jobs. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses - uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. Robotics are generally willing to make you a mech, which you can use instead of fighting fauna to murder people on station. Megafauna and tendril treasures can be more powerful than even your uplink. In addition, lavaland is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. There is plenty of room to fight a guerilla war against the ones foolish enough to pursue you. However, you also have the weaknesses of being suspicious when on station, and the best loot is dangerous to obtain and/or time consuming. | A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages.
