1. Get Robo miners on a ship, into an astroid field and mine.
2. How to lay mines.
3. If I have a planet with few facilities (no room to build facilities) how do I protect it? (Besides parking battlecrusiers in orbit)
4. How do I use weapons platforms? (where do they go, how do I get them there, how is it different from a space station...)
5. Cargo - I'm LOST. I don't understand the basics like what the difference between cargo and storage,

Usually I like to give the long answers but I got beat to it. So let me try the short answers that can stick in the head.
1. build them into a ship, or build them into a satellite that a ship can deliver there.
2. there is a button on the top of the screen menu for it
3. build satellites, mines, space stations (bases). But a base needs a shipyard to build, sats and mines need cargo space on the planet to build them into so you can launch them next turn
4. planetary weapons sites. they are built into the cargo space of a planet and stay there. If you want to build/launch stas/mines then dont fill up on weapon platforms. Or build a cargo facility (think warehouse).
5.supply=fuel, cargo=storage. cargo is for moving people, sats, mines, weapon platforms to other planets. If you want to launch sats/mines into space instead of a planet (like to guard a warp) then you need a launcher built into the ship.
RATS those arent so short. Im bad at that but its something Im working on
