True enough, with the new asteroid field settings in SE4 Gold:

Recently in a TDM game I set up shop in two asteroid field sectors. I sent a constructor ship with sat layers. Dropped a large miner sat, rad sat, and the occasional farm sat at each spot, topped off with a small sat with stealth armor.
I wasn't really rolling in resources, but I went MEE, and the free resources was kinda nice, kept paying the maintenance bills until I could capture some nice worlds.
I wouldn't want to base my economy on it though |

Absolutely not, however it is a profitable addition to resource collection.
EDIT - especially with Fyron's Quad Mod!

Re: remote robot collectors
Sometimes it's fun to set up a remote resourcer in orbit over a planet with two moons - you harvest from all three at once...mega resources!

Re: remote robot collectors
I join with the chorus of very useful and get them up asap. However - make sure that you have storage facilities built to handle any surplus.

Re: remote robot collectors
i do not use them since the ai doesn't use them so i rule out "unfair" competition. has anybody seen the ai (TDM) build remote mining sats?
