Can ruins worlds be remote mined?

You must be mistaken. I am certain this is not allowed. As stated previously, you cannot remote mine a planet that has a colony. Even an enemy colony. The only way you can remote mine a planet is if there is no colony on it. Not just no facilities or even no population. No colony whatsoever.
