Default Re: How to Mine Asteroids?/Effects of Storms?

The problem with sats is that you can only use large sats, and to tech up to them costs quite a large amount of research points (I'm guessing at least 500K), and then you have to spend the resources and time to build the sats and the sat layer. So they aren't useful for mining until quite a bit into a low-tech game.
