My vote will change soon too, but that's only because I'm playing a nomadic race in one of the games. I abhor the ecological damage that remote miners do; its almost as bad as the xenocidal glassing of planets, but easier to avoid.
Note: I have settings.txt set for a 30% loss when a planet is glassed, so you can imagine how much worse I feel about remote mining in the standard game.
!!!Remote mining for a year is as bad as glassing the planet, people
