Default Re: Deep Space Mining

Unless you perhaps put remote mining equipment on an outpost starbase to help defray maintenance costs, there doesn't seem to be any reason to use remote mining modules on any ship chassis.
Early in a low tech start, it's the only option. Satellites Level 3 is a lot of research points that might be put to better use elsewhere.

Though the rare times I've used remote miners in that situation, it's usually for the minerals to radioactives conVersion.
