Default Re: Varied questions: mines, sats, experience

One thing that I've always thought would make satellites a lot more useful would be to increase their size slightly, or decrease the size of the robo-miner components. That way remote mining could be started at the beginning (or close to the beginning) of the game, and profitably.

Having to wait to research large satellites (something I generally don't get a chance to do until later on) to me greatly lessens the effectiveness of remote mining. RM has always seemed underused to me; I expect that if humanity ever makes it to the stars then that form of mining will be a significant portion of all mining done.

Actually, this makes me think of something interesting; I'm going to start a new post to discuss it. (See Mining makes me sad)
