AJC: What an interesting idea. Can you deploy more than 1 satellite per asteroid (and have them all work) or is it just one satellite per asteroid?

Someone brought this up awhile back I think in the Pirate or Nomad thread. If I remember correctly, only one satellite in the group actual produced resources. I think this was if they were all the same kind of extractor. Might be able to group satellites of different resource extraction types together though, ie one mineral, one organic, one rad.

I'm currently using the P&N mod, playing Pirates. You can probably figure the rest

(Just in case you can't, Pirates have no worthwhile production facilities, the economy basically operates on Remote Mining and scrapping captured enemy ships).

According to the description only one ship can mine a location. guess if you had 15 miners of any combo on one ship you would collect them all.
Also remember the robominer mine all planets in the space so the best robomining spot is a planet with 2 or 3 moons as you mine from all planets each turn.

It will not, however, mine _colonized_ planets or moons.

That's right, you can't mine from a colonized planet, but I think you can mine from any other un-colonized planets in the same location. Is this right?
When I robomine, I usually do it early in the game in the system where my home planet is located. I almost always play with "colonize home planet type" option on so I know I'm probably never going to use the other planets and they are in a pretty safe location.
Anyone ever see the AI robomine?
