Re: A poll about bases.
Bases are a very good way to boost the defenses of small planets where relatively few weapons platforms can be placed. If you are worried about positioning, try fighter bases. Just a huge cargo base with launch bays and a few minimal defenses, which is cheap, and the fighters can go where they need to be.
What bothers me about mining is that remote mining of asteroids is actually a very different technology from remote mining of planets but SE tech doesn't take note of the difference. For this reason I tend to completely ignore remote mining in SE.
