Default Re: Newbie Mining Questions

I've found the best strategy for remote miners is to put them on a space station/base station/starbase hull. Assuming you have at least cruiser hulls, you can put a spaceyard component on a cruiser with (IIRC) 5 engines; move that to an asteroid sector, and build a mining base. The base works better than a ship because of the 50% maintenance bonus for bases. Not to mention that you can cram a LOT of mining components on the larger bases...
