I have a question:
there are normal remote miners and nomadic remote miners (some strings skipped):
Code:

---

 Name                  := Organics Harvester III

Description           := Digestive systems which can harvest organics from asteroids or empty planets remotely.

Pic Num               := 855

Tonnage Space Taken   := 100

Tonnage Structure     := 100

Cost Minerals         := 0

Cost Organics         := 1500

Cost Radioactives     := 200

Vehicle Type          := Ship\Base

Supply Amount Used    := 100

Restrictions          := Four Per Vehicle

Number of Tech Req    := 2

Tech Area Req 1       := Organics Harvesting

Tech Level Req 1      := 3

Tech Area Req 2       := Normal Race

Tech Level Req 2      := 1

Number of Abilities   := 2

Ability 1 Type        := Remote Resource Generation - Organics

Ability 1 Descr       := Automatically harvests 800 organics from any asteroids ...

Ability 1 Val 1       := 800

Ability 1 Val 2       := 0 

---

and
Code:

---

 Name                  := Organics Harvester III

Description           := Digestive systems which can harvest organics from asteroids or empty planets remotely.

Pic Num               := 855

Tonnage Space Taken   := 100

Tonnage Structure     := 100

Cost Minerals         := 0

Cost Organics         := 1500

Cost Radioactives     := 200

Vehicle Type          := Ship\Base

Supply Amount Used    := 100

Restrictions          := Four Per Vehicle

Number of Tech Req    := 2

Tech Area Req 1       := Organics Harvesting

Tech Level Req 1      := 3

Tech Area Req 2       := Nomadic Race

Tech Level Req 2      := 1

Number of Abilities   := 2

Ability 1 Type        := Remote Resource Generation - Organics

Ability 1 Descr       := Automatically harvests 800 organics from any asteroids ...

Ability 1 Val 1       := 800

Ability 1 Val 2       := 0

So what's the difference? And if there is no difference, what's the point of making 2 identical Groups of components?

[Fyron]

Pirates have special remote miners that are less productive. Hence, the normal remote miners must be unavailable to them. There is no OR for tech reqs, so Nomads must have a duplicate as well.

[Aiken]

You've just killed my Last hope, Fyron I thought it was a bug and nomadic miners will be fixed (read improved) in the future. Now it's all over and my great plans are broken.

[Fyron]

Huh? What do you mean? Nomadic remote mining ships are very productive, due to 1% maintenance rates... Remote Mining components even count as cargo...

[Aiken]

I was kidding.

Psychoportation trait serves no purpose. Still.

[Fyron]

Nobody gives me any suggestions. Still.

[Aiken]

Strong answer
Then you can remove it for a while, or mark it as nonfunctional, because I was about to spend 450 points for this trait Thanks lord, I decided to look what it actually gives.

[Fyron]

Perhaps we could brainstorm some ideas for it? I was thinking a +1 combat move afterburner type component for fighters. I think I can make it stack with regular afterburners...
