Hi!

Should I wait till I have the TGD or just say good enough and put on AD8's?

In my book there are only two types of standard remote miners:
1) gateable (mini-hull, one robot, FM or QJ-5 engine). Most of the time those will be gated around, and I collect a hefty amount of SFX/LFs to move them any distance over 49 LY. I've even built 300/500 gates on red planets just to be able to gate those remotes where they'd be the most effective.
2) heavy remote (maxi hull, full robots, W-10 capable engine). Since they can't gate, you'll swear at AD-8 just about every time you'll want to move it to the next rich planet 64+ LY far.

BR, Iztok
