Oohhhh, only one of ANY kind of orbital per planet?
so if you build a mine, u can't build any other orbitals and once it is up, you can't destroy it because it's a core favility?

No, they're each unique. You can have an orbital defense system, an orbital mine and an orbital station.
You'll be able to have one of each type and upgrade each one of them to higher levels as you research.

What does TP do? Is 1 TP so important that it's worth paying a higher maintenance cost AND having 1 less mine?

Orbital Mines do NOT use up Quality Points like a regular Mine, so you're not loosing anything. You are paying higher Maintenance because of 0 QP used. The value of a TP can range from about $10 to $30, depending on Political Treaties. |

Hey maybe under orbital upgrades where you put its benefits, your should add that it costs 0 quality, so players don't have to figure it out by purchasing them.

That will come along with the upgrade pack that makes Spice Festival descriptions work as well.

Also, it says in the help that Spice Hall increases EP, but when you go to buy a spice hall, it only says entertainment and RP in the description, nothing about espionage or EP

So i see here that orbital mine doesnt take away from quality... but does it use up any of the mineral points for my planet? I.e. my system has all mines used on surface mines will adding an orbital mine run it from 15/15 to 16/15 minerals?
