Re: Would you use this giant remote miner?

Plus several thousand radioactives which I was short of when I designed it.

I don't use remote mining much anymore but in one game on PBW that I am in I have a few miners out there. These are baseship designs with 14 extractors on them. (I design 3 different ones for the 3 different resource types to gain maximum benifit of each field) And on a field that is only 168% it brings in a net 19kt of minerals; I pay a maintenance fee of 3042M 100O and 466R for a grand profit of 16kt of minerals. (Numbers are roughly the same with my organic and rad miners) So going by that your base will bring in alot more then just a 5200kt that you mentioned.
Hold on and I will go run a test to see roughly how much your miner will bring in exactly.
