*Jumping to supercruise or hyperspace can escape pirates if they cannot be defeated or eluded, but this means losing time to spend on mining. Also note that planetary rings exert mass lock, preventing jumps until a ship has cleared them. Asteroid belt clusters are smaller and do not exert mass lock, but are far less lucrative to mine.

*Resource Extraction Sites in inhabited systems controlled by non-anarchy minor factions will usually be patrolled by security forces that will help defend miners and engage any wanted ships they detect. Ensure "Report crimes committed against me" in the right HUD panel is toggled on to enable a swift security response.

*Any ship with a speed of over 450m/s will outrun all pirates except those with engineered ships, such as pirates encountered in Wing missions.

*Ships equipped with a [[Fighter Hangar]] can use [[Ship-Launched Fighters]] for protection if their hardpoints are occupied by mining tools. Simply deploy a fighter upon arrival and use it or order a crewmember to defend yourself. This could make the [[Keelback]] a decent early option for an armed miner, but its low cargo space with a fighter bay may prove an issue.

 

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>

 

 

==Notes==

*Mining features were first added in the Beta 3 Update for ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'', which was released on October 28, 2014.

*Mining was greatly expanded with new features and modules by ''[[Elite Dangerous: Beyond]]'' Chapter Four (3.3), which was released on December 11, 2018.
