A traitorous miner has a lot of advantages. You have a space suit for free right away, a pair of gloves and a robust pickaxe. Certain minerals you'll find have more "specialized" uses -- uranium structures will irradiate people, plasma can start fires, gibtonite goes boom. You can also buy very dangerous "mining" tools and possibly even revive those monsters you've been fighting. As long as you have some mineral wealth or an ore box with you, no one will suspect your presence around the station, even in highly restricted areas like robotics or toxins, and if you are smart enough, you could get a big stompy mech to drill people to death! In addition, the asteroid is isolated, hard to get to, dangerous, and as expansive as you're willing to dig out. Plenty of room for somebody to get lost in... ''Forever!''

===Tips for Traitoring===
* If you're a miner and you have to kill another miner; there's a really easy way to block communications one way so he can't call for help.
** Grab a multitool, go to the mining communications room.
** Use the multi tool on the relay and make sure the relay isn't sending, meaning your headset won't go to people on the station.
** Kill your target with their shouts for help unheard.
* You can get plasma at exactly the heat you need for canister bombs by welding a plasma door in vacuum. Use an air pump to take it, then put [REDACTED] KPa into an empty large tank (the size of plasma, emergency O2, etc). You can then ignite it with a can of pure O2 set to release at 1013.25 KPa. This is the Shaft Miner's canister bomb. It's easy to set up on the asteroid.
* More than one uranium wall is hilariously deadly. IIRC they give off a "pulse"of radiation every couple of seconds. This pulse makes other uranium walls in range pulse as well, and they all run on their own timer.
* Tiers 0-1-2-3 can gib bodies, remember mining suits take 50% of damage away from bombs, so strip miners you want to make disappear forever first.
*Ripley is now a fairly robust murdering tool, if you can, convince robotics to put a gravity catapult on it. '''SLAM PEOPLE INTO WALLS. THE SUFFERING NEVER ENDS.'''
