Stellar manip ships have never been destroyed by the direct use of their components, only the side effects (say, of destroying a star, which demolishes everything in the system, including planets)

The components themselves may need repair after use, but that dosen't destroy the ship.

He wasn't asking about the "Manip Ship" SJ. He was asking if the base doing the mining would be destroyed and if not will the base mine the new planet?

SoD I was just wondering something? Why did you build a remote mining base instead of a remote mining ship. You can move the ship around but the base is... well you know; stuck!

The maintenance costs on bases are half that of ships, so you're remote mining operation is more efficient. Once the resource is depleted, you just scrap the base.

Ahhh...

Plus you can fit more on a base then you can on a ship (unless you build like a battleship.) I was going to do a ship, but the mobility a ship would offer does me no good, in my current game I'm stuck in a system where I only have one wp out and that system has a neutral minor who declared war on me just because I put two scout ships in orbit over their homeworld.

Edit: Man, look at that post count rise!!!
