Re: Doesn\'t Anyone Remote Mine?
Remote mining is profitable. But the game gets so huge so fast that the player time involved gets high compared to the advantage you get in the game. Also remote mining uses up the asteroids and turning a 200% plus asteroid into a planet is the gift that keeps on giving. But remote mining does have other advantages.
It can be used as a means of economic warfare. By Reducing asteroids and planets(yes virgina remote mining works on planets too) then giving the worthless husks away is a nice touch.
If you get to a system and put some miners out (really nice with sensors)when the badguy destroys them they can be used as a pretext for declaring war. Not that anyone in SEIV needs a pretext.
