Re: Remote miming question.
Best is to use a base because it does not need supplies and has reduced maintenance costs making it more profitable to mine with. The obvious drawback is that a base cannot move, so once the mining has depleted the resources beyond being profitable, you have to go back to it with a SY ship and scrap or retro it to something else. Uncolonized planets can be remotely mined.
