Large sats are a "don't bother" research item in my book. I go for the mega-bases instead, because you get so much more resource out of them. Large satelites just don't fit enough miners for my money. This is, of course, a personal preference thing. I just feel like the large sat would be getting very little out of the asteroid belt considering I'm permenantly reducing it's mining potential by 1% each turn. But I am a bit of a tree hugger
