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.

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.

Man what petty scum! When will they understand it's not a blockade; it's drug traffic control!
