I've never understood why the 3 Giga Spec mines have different "features" (different shield strength, sig multiplier, income, etc). But specifically, what's the reason for the higher income of the Si Spec Mines? Do silicon asteroids appear less frequently than Ur or Ca?
And if they do, why?

All Tech Rocks are generated randomly, the only factor being what tech is available in the settings (I think).
I think the game-devs put the different attributes for different spec mines for flavour.
I always thought the reasoning was based on the research one could make on those rocks with a tech base.
Tac - affects econ (kill enemy miners)
exp - carries sig ga's
sup - ship hull is one of the prime ga's.

If I'm not mistaken the Si spec mine costs more as well. (?)
Therefore it would be logical for it to have a higher income.
