About to start mining out of a nearby system. I was wondering what the best way would be? I wouldnt think I could just use mass drivers. Do you usually set up a trade hub for that system where all resources are gathered, and then get freighters to move through jump gates?
-
One thing you can do is set up a colony close to the JP, use mass drivers to send all the mineral to that point, and then transship them through the JP with freighters.

Thats what I was thinking of doing. Alright, I got a green light then. Thanks.

How many mass drivers do you tend to put per planet? Or is there a ratio you use, such as 1:1 mine, 1:5 mines, etc.
-
I use 5-10 on mining colonies, and 1 on the receiving end.

Each mass driver can send 5000 tons of minerals per year so you need to check the mining tab to see the projected mining totals for a year.
