Is Remote Mining For You?[ 35 votes ]
1.	Yes I love to remote mine!	17 / 49%
2.	Waste of a LRT?	2 / 6%
3.	Just too much Damn Effort?	3 / 9%
4.	Its is a waste of effort AND LRT!!	13 / 37%

Reading through a few strategy articles on the AutoHost one generally gets the feeling that people do not like to remote mine. In fact OBRM is almost universal amongst monster races.
Most people remote mine only if they get the alien miner which makes them almost as good as ARM races in remote mining. The chances of getting the alien miner however, is small and so many people do not remote mine at all.

From where I stand however, Taking OBRM is a fatal mistake, especially in the end game. But even in the mid game ARM players have significant advantage. Here are some facts to think over:

# Since 1 mineral concentration pt = 125kt minerals, most worlds will give you 40*125=5000 kt of each mineral before their concentration becomes so low that the reminder 1125 kt are mined in about the same time it took to mine the first 5000 kt.

# It takes 70 pts to get from 10 to 16 mines per 10k pop. while it takes 56 pt to have ARM, which effectilely tripels minerals available to you in mid game with typical hap settings and with effective resource cost of 2 res/mine for a remote miner design.

# HW' do not get their mineral concentration below 30. This means that you can depopulate your WH and build as many remote miners over it as your heart desires. This way you get an inexhaustable mineral supply while the rest of universe that took OBRM struggles to squize last few stones from rocks at min consentration of 10.

To me the choice is clear - unless you are a barbaric race that plunges the whole galaxy in chaos by 2470, ARM is a must.

I'd like to hear some independent opinions on this and so there is a repeat poll that appeared before on the AutoHost. I'd like to see if I managed to convince a few people of the utility of ARM.

In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
