Default Re: Newbie Mining Questions

I have never built the remote miners for two reasons.
a. The maintainance cost of a mining ship exceeds the return.
b. I want resources when it's time to colonize that planet.
(note: planets can be created from asteroids).

Some players have placed the remote miners on a large SAT and avoid paying the maintenance.

My quickest fix for more minerals is to upgrade to level 2 miner facilities. Level 2 takes one turn to build, and level 3 takes two turns usually. I don't bother researching mining above level 3 because there are better enhancements.

The next best fix is in the computer research. Good infrastucture enhancements and a ships computer too.


UPGRADES HAPPEN!!!
