I have a feeling you haven't actually read the post here, and I don't have to move to a different thread in order to have a relevant discussion here. Your own alternatives are borked and untenable, and instead of admit that and brainstorm, you're having a knee jerk reaction because you worry that your prey will be too hard to catch. The game is not all about you. You have to work around the reality that people don't want to be easily caught by rats, and realize that rats will also have access to the same tech as these miners you fear will outrun you.
