Slave Troop Units

So, I can't get the slave troops to mine on a colony, from a ship over a colony or uninhabited planet, or from a ship in an asteroid field. My only conclussion is that units that can be loaded onto ships/planets cannot use the following abilities:
Remote Resource Generation - Minerals or Mined Resource Generation - Minerals. I have attached the unit below. Anyway that this could be considered a bug and fixed in a future update?

Name := Slave Miners
Description := Slaves that mine planets.
Picture Number := 46
Maximum Level := 71
Tonnage Space Taken Formula := 10
Tonnage Structure Formula := 10

Requirement 1 Description := Empire must have at least tech level 1 in Minerals Extraction.
Requirement 1 Formula := Get_Empire_Tech_Level("Minerals Extraction") >= (1 + ([%Level%] - 1))
Requirement 2 Description := Empire must have at least tech level 1 in Orc Technology.
Requirement 2 Formula := Get_Empire_Tech_Level("Orc Technology") >= (1 + ([%Level%] - 1))
Number Of Abilities := 1
Ability 1 Type := Remote Resource Generation - Minerals
Ability 1 Description := Mines [%Amount1%] minerals each turn.
Ability 1 Scope := Space Object
Ability 1 Range Formula := 0
Ability 1 Amount 1 Formula := 100 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 10)
Ability 1 Amount 2 Formula := 0
Weapon Type := None

Will do, thanks for the advice.
