Re: Would you use this giant remote miner?
No one has mentioned Large Sats. with minors. Is it because of the micro manegment night mare or?...

Re: Would you use this giant remote miner?
Large sats are a "don't bother" research item in my book. I go for the mega-bases instead, because you get so much more resource out of them. Large satelites just don't fit enough miners for my money. This is, of course, a personal preference thing. I just feel like the large sat would be getting very little out of the asteroid belt considering I'm permenantly reducing it's mining potential by 1% each turn. But I am a bit of a tree hugger

Those are far down in my research priorities. Like a broken record ... If a ruin gives me sat tech ... I will send a constructor ship to a asteroid sector. I'll launch a miner, farmer, rad..um..radder? I'll top it off with maybe an attack sat, maybe large sensor/scanner sat, and a cloak sat to cloak the stack.
It will give me a few resources, and it will cover some maintenance when I go MEE. When TDM modpack sensor ships find them, the AI will waste some time blowing them up. A mine or two is fun.
But none of this will ever fool a human.

Large SATs with MINORS?
Why in no time those children (minors) would be crashing the SATs into each other like bumper cars. 
Any kindergarten teacher could tell you about micro management nightmares.

Re: Would you use this giant remote miner?
Yeah, what Wardad says! And the minors crashing the sats is not all. Child labour is Banned also. It's illegal 
* minipol quickly opens his designs book and erases the minor driven sats *
