Specifically, the Pirate NPC mining forces do have a hauler that warps to the Forward Operating Base to unload cargo. If the hauler warps on grid to the FOB while a player force is just showing up, the hauler can call its own reinforcement fleet, separate from the FOB reinforcement fleet (and the fits that both forces use are different in most cases), which can overwhelm the capsuleer fleet. Normally however, when a player group comes on grid with the FOB, the pirate NPC miners will warp off the belt(s) and sit in a safe spot. When the FOB is destroyed, the pirate siege of the system (which includes the roaming pirate frigate group and the pirate mining fleet) is terminated immediately and they vacate the system. | Specifically, the Pirate NPC mining forces do have a hauler that warps to the Forward Operating Base to unload cargo.
