It will mine every uncolonised planet, moon and asteroid field in that sector at once, which can double (triple, quadruple) the miner's output.
That's a good trick - I find remote mining quite rewarding but then, I put my remote mining units in large satellites, no maintenance and you just deploy then a la desiree
