Ya right you're just running up your post count! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Indeed how shameful http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I got to do something.....everybody else is in the thousands http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif but, on a different subject, and without using a new post, I have a base built on a asteroid field thats mining, if I create a planet and put a colony on it, will the base still mine the planet?

[President_Elect_Shang]

I haven't used any kind of creation components since SE3; but I thought it would blow the base?

[Suicide Junkie]

Remote miners will mine anything that is uncolonized.

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?

[President_Elect_Shang]

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! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Captain Kwok]

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.

[President_Elect_Shang]

Ahhh...

[Spectarofdeath]

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. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/stupid.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

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

[Spectarofdeath]
