Query on Sat Mining
 

I know only one ship can mine an astroid field but can I keep stacking sat miners and have them count as "1 ship" or does every sat I add to the stack do nothing?

Thanks!

You can have a sat mining each resource type in a sector.

Right.

Drat! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif (thought I found a way to mine without maintenance!)

Thanks, I. Fyron! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

They fixed that bug a while ago. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

It is actually wasteful to do it that way because you will be making a lot less of each resource while depleting all the values at once. It is better to make your ships mine a single resource.
