Does the Robber Baron's ability to steal minerals from planets effect only itself, or the fleet that contains it? (i.e. can I send along a bunch of cheap LFs with the fleet to get more minerals...)
|
Fleet that contains it. Might actually not even require that - just having a RB-equipped ship in orbit giving access for any fleet you have there.
|
Any fleet in orbit can lift minerals as long as there is also a Robber baron in orbit (same player of course). Note that the owner can also lift minerals, and if this happens, it is random as to who gets them.

Can I upload minerals WP0, WP1, or both?

Best is to do it manually. WP0 and WP1 orders may or may not work correctly. This has been an issue affecting the last few Stars! patches.
|
If you do it manually, the owner can lift too. I think it's best to do it as you arrive (waypoint 1). If that fails, try again manually.

Can I upload minerals from a planet that is not owned?

No. Has to be an inhabited planet. (If you bring a remote miner along you can access uninhabited planets; like ones that recently experienced a heavy fall of cherry bombs.)
|
Yes, you can. I've manually lifted minerals the turn (and several turns after) killing an AR base at a world (note to Kurt: We did this in AFON). Remote miners will also allow you to lift minerals from uninhabited worlds, wich means that it makes some sense for everyone to have a remote miner design, and have one or two along with an attacking fleet. I think they have to actually be remote mining, so it might take an extra turn over Robber Barons.
