Default Re: Would you use this giant remote miner?

Bigger is definetly better with remote mining, so if you are gonna do it at all your starbase design is the best way to go. There are those that will say even then it's not worth it, and long term the numbers are on their side of the argument because of the gradual reduction of value due to remote mining. But their is some short term value to your solution, and if it works for you that's really the only point.

Maintenance by default is 25% of the purchase cost, and bases get half that, so 12.5% in your case. If you take merchant culture and/or improve your maintenance characteristic you will increase the profit potential immensly.
