The problem with the SI mine is that the income is ridiculous compared to the cost.

8k for 2k/min is a 25% return per minute. 6k for 1k/min is a 16.7% return.
Another reason why they are so good is that one of the main issue with getting mines is the lack of rocks that makes it worth it. 1 SI rock can give you as much money as 2 U or 2 C.

I actually sent comments to the devs back in the days to have different mines. I liked the idea of different mines, but right now, the SI mine is a much better investment than the other 2.

the other mines are $1250, but still, the point stands

The point is re-enforced.

Besides the cost it has to do with the fact that Giga Tac was cheese with Med Shield 3

Si mines aren't the best investment if you have a home c-rock, and 3 c-rocks easily available. I personally don't risk going for Si-mines if they don't have the chance of surviving (majority of si rocks behind, or controlled by enemy lines).

Besides, controlling all of the tac-rocks vs Giga/Belts, is one of the command strats everyone forgot about.

you don't even have to command them, just be in a position to threaten them effectively.

It makes more money because the rock is green and it's widely known that green is the colour of money.
