Never really thought about an orbital with 50(0) asteroid miners on it, or some such. I just giggled a little on the inside of the visualization of subjugating an alien home world and then following up with an orbital mining array that strips/decimates the planet and renders the surface near inhospitable in the extraction of the resources. (a little combining of this idea and one I just posted in suggestions about player activities damaging the habitability of a body)
