The plan with these guys was that they’d have a small-grid mining drone and a courier drone docked to them. So, I could RC it out to an ore deposit then I could RC onto the courier drone and set up a courier route it would fly automatically. Then set up a lock/control for the courier so it would only fly the route when it had enough ore to fill it’s cargo containers.
The intention was that I could save time by RC mining and automate the ore transport process. If necessary also setting up relay stations so I could have a greater than 50km range I could RC mine in.
All the more reason to have primary base on a freighter.
