Right, but I was refering to sattelites. If you place three sattelites in a sector, one of each kind, you get all three resources. I think becasue the sat group is considered as one vehicle or something. But that would make you think you could put many sats of the same kind. You used to be able to do that, but that was changed.

Baron, in regards to miners from 2 empires in same sector, I've had games where there was AI miners in a system, I put in 1 or more and mined what they weren't and I still received resources, however, I did not ck the status of the AI miners who were there lst to see if they were still receiving, I will have to ck this out lst chance I get.

Of course - the ships would have to be chalk-white as well - maybe striped?

You've seen the AI use remote extraction? What mod was this? And what Version/patch level of the game?

A question remains:

If using a ship to mine with and you set it to SENTRY - will it still mine?

Yes, it will still mine. I do this all the time. If they didn't I'd get sick and tired of having to skip ships that are mining.

Or perhaps the ships could be large flying bagettes, blocks of Brie... perhaps a bottle of Chateau Bergoise
