mining ships build by themselves as long as there is a design, its a civilian craft... mining ships are the least effective way to get a resource... the most effective way is to colonize a planet with it. The following way is to build a mining station (always mines, and then freighters pick it up)... culture = development. you can see a colony development by hovering on it and looking the bar thing (it fills up vertically for development and horizontally for population). starting with v1.04 50% of development is due to population and 50% from luxury resources (100% luxury wasn't working too well).... i recommend you play 1.0.4.4 (beta 4 of 1.04), earlier betas were very buggy, but 1.04 is actually more stable then 1.03 and solves a plethora of problems. or wait for 1.04 final later this week which solves even more. As far as getting resources... use the expansion planner, it shows the resources on each planet via pictures (and name if you hover) and your empire demand, sources, etc... learn those by heart, go for the rarest luxury resources first, followed by less rare, and aim for a good variety of luxury resources.
