Quote from: "James Patten"Do Asteroid Miners work faster than Automated Mines?Mines, automated mines and mining modules all work at the same rate, which is the racial mining rate modified by any commander bonus.

I have used asteroid mining units, but from an ease of use standpoint, I feel that automated mines/mass drivers are better. With mining ships, you have to watch their clocks and send them in for refits, while you just let the AM's go and move them when they have mined out the asteroid.
Note that I'm not speaking economic value here, just ease of use.
