Default Re: Remote Mining

theres some other threads on this, basically it comes down to one of three things:

1 - remote mining is sucky and lame, so if you want it to be usefull you need to make some sort of mod for it.

2 - remote mining is OK if spend time researching sats to LARGE, but then you can only mine with one sat at a time and its hard making it pay off for the effort it takes. (keeping in mind sats have 0 maintnance)

3 - if you build a ship using minerals and mine for organics, the maintnance cost will get you, but its sort of like cheap resource conVersion.

I think those are all the major points or options on the topic. that i can think of now anyway.
