Default Re: Would you use this giant remote miner?

The other point to consider is that for maximum efficency you should keep your designs to having all the same type of miner components. Instead of some mineral and some rad, you should have all mineral. The field still only reduces in value by 1% a turn and you get more minerals back for that one percent. Once the asteroids are depleted to the point where you aren't getting enough to cover the maintenance you can retorfit the starbase to collect all rads.
