A little light at the end of the tunnel. I have noticed a few asteroids respawn that I believe were OOS mined by my fleet of miners.
The Void Alpha - Both Nividium roids have respawned. I don't recall if I ever used the automate mining command, but one was definitely auto-mined by my HQ based miner. And the silicon roid next to the South TOA gate respawned and it was broken and depleted entirely by that fleet while I was collecting the minerals for my first TOA.
I also wanted to report my opinion on the Nividium mine as well, as opposed to mobile mining.
It does operate at a profit, "a small one", but the setup cost and length of time revealed that basically it isn't worth the time and effort when compared to having a fleet out and about. Cycle times are high, having a decent amount available to sell is tough, and keeping it stocked with e-cells cause it depletes quickly is very annoying.
I mined both Unknown Enemy Sector and Sanctuary of Darkness using this fleet before the enemies took them over. Those did respawn after the Khaak and Xenon showed in them.
The rocks in The Void Epsilon which my auto miner broke up long ago have just begun popping back up. As have a few other rocks in the neighboring The Void Zeta.
That is my official report / feedback for those I promised.
