Mining Satillite: satilite-only, very small, very limited shipyard. This tiny shipyard has only capacity to procude a mine, maybe even only a mine every two or three turns. These satellites would be useful in large numbers, but would be expensive to make, as the miniaturized full-auto shipyard should not be cheap.

[edit]
I forgot, these satilite-only shipyards would have exactly no capacity for repair.

See, when I think "Mining Satellite", I'm thinking a 110kt Sat so i can just squeeze a comp core and a mining droid in without having to spend a quarter-mil in research points and years of time...

Thank god (or SJ, whatever ) for Big Thinkers!
