Mining is only possible where there are metallic asteroids, which is a small minority of systems. By using the Targets menu on the left side of your cockpit you can find targets with names similar to "Belt Cluster 2". Naturally, this only works if you have information about the system. When scanning a system yourself, keep a look out for a large number of unknown object contacts at similar distances - this often proves to be a belt cluster. Asteroid belt points of interest can only be scanned at very close range (c.5ls). | Mining is only possible where there are metallic asteroids, which is a small minority of systems.

Asteroids in planetary rings can also be mined from - [[RES]] are common places for NPC miners to congregate in, but pirates will also spawn here. | ||
You can fly to asteroids (either clusters or planetary rings) in supercruise, just like any destination within a system. | You can fly to asteroids (either clusters or planetary rings) in supercruise, just like any destination within a system. When you have arrived, you will see a number (from a handful to many dozens) of asteroids, which you can then mine. A good starting spot for mining are systems with industrial economies. | ||

This is a very rough guide of which minerals and metals are most valuable to mine, these prices will be lower or higher depending on demand in the station you're selling to. | This is a very rough guide of which minerals and metals are most valuable to mine, these prices will be lower or higher depending on demand in the station you're selling to. | ||
