We all know. Mining asteriods in DA adds to social and military production. But what if you could mine minerals that weren't iron, titanium and other building materials. What if you could mine valuble minerals? This would provide you with more income, and a way to not be as reliant on your people for taxes. If you mine more minerals than you can process, you can sell them for more money. Also, mining bases should have upgrades that give weapons and more hitpoints. Just some ideas.
