Im toying with the idea of an AR race, And am trying to perfect it to crazy standards Smile

. I know that the ammount of minerals each year is how many robots are in the fleet, so wich hull gives you more bang for the buck? (not using ARM)

We just had a big discussion about exactly this in teh 'AR Miners' thread found here:
http://library.southern.edu/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th= 1542&start=0&rid=326&S=7e59f9068eeddb1b81e2c1180 ce249ae

Rough summary:

AR with ARM: midgithull+2ultra miners is a no-brainer. Gatable AND cheap.

AR without ARM: EITHER minihull+ONEsuperminer (gateable with best mining tech) OR superhull+FULLsuperminers (significantly cheaper per mine, but not gateable)

ARM vs. non-ARM debate is also discussed, and it is also mentioned in another thread:
http://library.southern.edu/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th= 1569&start=0&rid=326&S=7e59f9068eeddb1b81e2c1180 ce249a

Summary:
non-ARM = +RW points, +reach max mining tech earlier in game
ARM = -RW points, +reach best mining tech (eventually...)

Hope this helps!

** added comments about ARM vs ORM, corrected hull names **
