The way I see it, the only problem here is the humane part. It makes sense to make mining equipment more powerful, and that would work, but the problem of dealing with any Dick and Jane getting their grubby griefing on better stuff is what makes it an iffy issue. Honestly, it is not incredibly hard for someone to break in and steal shit, or to get access, but people are now a lot easier to deal with thanks to admins paying attention to someone yelling about how a non traitor is killing peeps with picks and running around in a better-than-average space suit. That's the real deal, and it's hardly as much of a problem as it used to be.
