Mining in Elite Dangerous is very manual as the player must use a mining laser to chip off pieces of an asteroid to then scoop up to be refined onboard. As time consuming as it can be, a miner with the right technique can make just as much money as they would in other professions.
 
To mine the player must have a ship equipped with a Mining Laser and a Refinery. The player will need to use the mining laser on an asteroid until a chip breaks off at which point the player will need to fly close enough to the chip that they can guide it into their cargo scoop which will then allow them to refine the chip by using the Refinery module which can be accessed through the ship's right control panel. It is recommended that players obtain system data from the Universal Cartographics in order to determine what asteroids are mineral rich and as close to "pristine" as possible which will ensure that the player gets the most 'bang for their buck'.

Line 8 ⟶ 25:
* Mining Laser - To extract the ore from the asteroid.
* Refinery - To process the collected ore.
 
The Mining Laser and Refinery can be found for a reasonable price (5,000 - 15,000 CR) at [[Chu Hub]] in [[Styx]].
