Default Re: Robo miners/Remote Mining maintenance Reduction

The best approach in the default configuration of the game is to build bases full of remote miners over the planets you want to mine. Bases have 1/2 the maintenance cost of ships, so you can get a 'profit' much more easily with a base than a ship. Look for planets with moons, btw. ALL unoccupied planets in a sector are mined by the remote miners. So, of you have 3 planets with a total of 250 percent mineral value, you'll get 250 percent return from your miners.
