I'm sure you know that resupplying is really a waste of time as it has no effect on mining the field. Only thing it does is of course keeps it full of supplies so that when you go to move your ship to a different location that it can move at full speed instead of just 1. But leaving to do so limits your overall production from the field as you have to pay the maint to travel to the resupply base and back.

They were armed. With guns, said Omari.
Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?
The dreaded derelict dwelling two ton devil bunny!
Every ship can be a minesweeper... Once
