Hey, another question

I don't know how to test this, so I will ask. When I remote mine in my solo games, I get the second starbase and load it up, something like 8 mineral and 2 each of Org and Rad. I can upgrade this, which is nice. But I wonder, it says you can only have 1 object mining per sector, but Sats group, so does that mean I can have 100 sats all mining?

Which is used the most? Starbase or sats?

Personally I would go for the Sats, because they don't use maintenance, and you could pick them up at a later stage and move them.

You can only have one Ship or Base mining in a sector, period. Or, you can have sats. With satellites, you can only have 3 operate, one mining each type of resource. Extra satellites will not produce any more resources. Having a base and satellites will result in either the base or the satellites mining, depending on which was built first and some random absurdity.

Ie: it sometimes has the first built object mine, other times has the Last built one mine. I noticed this when replacing Space Stations with Battlestations in Proportions games.

so you can't have 100 sats all mining? just want to clarify is all.

only one spatial vessel can mine one particular square on the map, yes.
