Reviving this topic, as I'm clueless why my remote miners are not doing anything.
They are on Thyra, sol system. This is an asteroid. I created a barren colony on asteroid. Each ship do have mining module (15 each). There is mineral on the asteroid. I waited 10 days. Nada, zip, nothing... Nothing on the asteroid or on the small holds of the ships.
What I'm missing?
related question, is each captain providing its own extraction bonus (mining bonus) to his ship only, or would one single fleet commander suffices?
side question, what is used for the factory skill for ship commanders, except for stargate building? I fail to see any other use, which seems a pretty focused skill thus...
