Satellite Questions?

[Triumvir Emphy]

Sat's of the same kind are placed in a group, this group counts as 1 unit (= 1 ship)

Atleast that is what i have found sofar.

You can remote mine asteriods and planets with no colony on them.

Remote mining from a base is a waste, as you pay maintenance, and it becomes increasingly more wastefull as you decrease the value of the asteriod/planet by 1% each turn.


Sat's are economical because 1) you don't pay maintenance and 2) you get to pick them up and move them once you have stripped the target.

I produce 3 Groups of sat's and a transport ship to hover them around. After i deplete the metal stuff, i send in the veggie sats and after that the rad's, sucking the asteriods/planets down to 30% (after that it isn't worth it for me anymore.)
