Default Re: Remote Mining

I've had pretty good luck using RM on rich asteroid fields; load a Base Station with 14 miners/farmers/extractors and build it at a high-value asteroid sector. I have three of those operating at three different asteroid fields, and they're bringing in a net of 5k minerals and 1k of rads each turn (10 mineral miners, 4 rad extractors). I'm not worried about the organics this game. The bases have been operating for 10-20 turns already, and still making a profit. They paid for themselves after the first 3 turns (when I was getting 8k minerals per station per turn), since they cost about 22k minerals to build. Obviously, they take forever to build with a spaceyard ship, but it's a way to use asteroid fields. I just have to remember to keep checking on them every couple turns to make sure they're still profitable, and send a space yard ship over to scrap them when they are no longer profitable.
