Is this a bug? (Remote mining & cloaking)

Why is it that I can have my vessels remote mine while under cloak? This seems wrong to me - is it a bug, or am I just uptight?

thanks,

Alarik

No, that's not a bug. Why would that be a bug?

Both cloaking and remote mining do use supply though, so unless you include some solar gererators or a QR eventually you are going to have an empty ship. I think maybe the remote mining will still work with no supply, but the cloaking will not, so you'll be visisble then.

Well, it just seemed quite counter-intuitive to me.

Oh well - I won't complain, I've been using it to good advantage in a few games.

Thanks,

Well the supply issues are moot if you use bases http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Oh and if you are using a mod that does not decrease Asteroid/planet values when remote mining, no supplies are used when mining (like STM & Adamant). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

Ships with 0 supplies have no trouble generating resources from remote mining.
