To mine, pilots require three optional internal modules: a [[Refinery]] to refine collected resources into [[Commodities]] for sale, one or more [[Cargo Rack]]s to carry the refined Commodities, and one or more [[Mining Laser]]s, [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, [[Sub-surface Displacement Missile]]s, or [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]s. The [[Detailed Surface Scanner]], [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|Prospector Limpet]], and [[Pulse Wave Analyser]] can also be equipped to more easily locate ideal mining sites and valuable asteroids, and the [[Limpet Controller/Collector|Collector Limpet]] can be used to more efficiently gather raw resources. Miners who choose to delve inhabited systems rather than uncharted ones can purchase system data from [[Universal Cartographics]] or scan a [[System Signal Sources|Navigation Beacon]] in order to determine the quality of a system's asteroid clusters or planetary rings. | To mine, pilots require three optional internal modules: a [[Refinery]] to refine collected resources into [[Commodities]] for sale, one or more [[Cargo Rack]]s to carry the refined Commodities, and one or more [[Mining Laser]]s, [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, [[Sub-surface Displacement Missile]]s, or [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]s.

However, the Beyond changes made it much less useful as its sluggish speed makes avoiding asteroid fragments difficult and its low mobility makes aiming mining tools frustrating. It also lacks the hardpoints to be as efficient as other options. | ||

** Aside from mapping the surfaces of planets, the Detailed Surface Scanner can also be used to identify mineral hotspots within planetary rings. Commanders can fire probes into the rings, which will then clearly display the areas worth investigating on your screen.<ref name=":0">https://forums.frontier.co.uk/ | ** Aside from mapping the surfaces of planets, the Detailed Surface Scanner can also be used to identify mineral hotspots within planetary rings.

Multiple ships or a [[Wing]] can cooperate to mine more efficiently by specializing each ship's loadout. For example, one pilot can fly a speedy, low-mass ship such as the [[Asp Scout]] equipped only with [[Seismic Charge Launcher]], [[Abrasion Blaster]]s, and [[Limpet Controller/Prospector|prospector limpets]] while the second pilot can fly a larger ship such as the [[Anaconda]] with ample cargo space, [[Limpet Controller/Collector|collector limpets]], and a [[Refinery]].<ref name=":1">https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/a9pgdo/thanks_frontier_for_actually_making_coop_mining_a/</ref> | Multiple ships or a [[Wing]] can cooperate to mine more efficiently by specializing each ship's loadout.

The miner ship should crack a suitable deep core asteroid, then use the Abrasion Blaster on any surface deposits. While the refinery ship collects and refines the ore, the miner ship can move on and locate another deep core asteroid with its prospector limpets. This process can be repeated until a ship runs out of cargo space, limpets, or ammunition. Cooperating pilots can then return to a station to split the cargo; take care to avoid jettisoning cargo for this purpose within a station's jurisdiction to avoid penalties for littering.<ref name=":1" /> | The miner ship should crack a suitable deep core asteroid, then use the Abrasion Blaster on any surface deposits.
