Re: whats the math on mining bases?
OK I got all of that. Lets see if I can respond to them all.
First off, it would stay at only one space station. But it would be a 1 miner, then become a 2 miner, then a 3 etc etc.
Also, Im aware of the maintenance but there is still some profit. So while the 1miner is being retrofitted to a 2miner, it still brings in minerals. When its a 2miner and I retrofit it to a 3miner then I am getting the benefits of 2miners working while the 3rd is being "repaired" into the space station. Continue until that station is full and then start a farming station.
All in all it seems a good idea because instead of waiting until the whole thing is finished I am getting benefits "while its being built" in a manner of speaking. Also, it gives me a chance to break off at any time and build something else... hmmm...no strike that. It frees up the ShipYard after the first miner is done, so I could build a level one miner base, and a level one farm base, and then a level one radioactive base, having them all retrofitting upward AND providing resources at the same time. I should have my ShipYard back for new orders after starting all three in less time than it would have taken to build the initially maxxed-out base that is being recommended?
