Remote mining does not require a spaceport to get the resources back to your empire.

Still this is THE invention to get some value out of those research planets. I usually have quite a few and although I only use low ressource planets for research colonies it's still not necessary to let the ressources just sit there. Great strategy!

But remeber, to remote mine, the planet can't be colonized first. You'd have to drain it of minerals first, then colonize it and make it a research planet.

Yeeaah, I figured that out by now. Pretty stupid of me. It says it right in the remote miner's description that you can't mine colonized planets.

I think there is a way around decreasing values of planets by using religious tech adv. racial trait.One of the facilities there improves value of all planets in the system by 1, 2, 3 depending of Version.So with I you get no loss from RM, with 2 and 3 you actually get improvment.The other thing about RM is that it is not affected by appropriate racial characteristics (mining, farming, extraction).so if you are going for RM as you main source of resources (I'm trying to take that road) you could get points from there.I haven't checked does the system value improvement thingy works, but it seems t me that it should.

One other thing.I find tiny valuable world (rock, ice) very suitable for RM.My strategy is to colonize them, build SY and minning base (battlestation is minimum).This way I can have minning base up in 7-10 turns (depending on SY and robo-miner level used)level.I know that yardships could do this in same times (more or less) but idea here is to get RM Online fast without getting to much tech in the begining (only tech required is base const 2 for battlestation).

Ok, let me get this strait. You build a Starbase at a planet, namely a research planet, and fill it with remote miners?

And as a result, it will mine the planet. Hum, sounds interesting. I will have to give it a shot.

Thanks for the tip. AI look out.
