I had thought about that, clearing out the weapons (and related) components. But being this my first time through, i didn't want to desing and easy kill if the AI created a worm hole right to that system. I am building a couple, as waiting for answers has moved slower than my game
.
I do not have a ship hull large enough for remote mining yet. I got lucky with a conquest, and a ruins, and got my space station tech maxed out early.
I was trying to think on more of a long term plan. not so much streching out the resources, as preparing for possible attacks. once the asteroid field was strip mined, I was going to retrofit it to a shipright's yard. Do ship yard components stack? because the 2k limits makes the component stink imo. takes forever to build anything
