Edited locations, was out of date and misleading to players. Suggest a test to determine a persons "cherriness" before being able to edit pages as salty players write incorrect information. |

Mining is | Mining is possible currently possible at asteroid belts or planetary rings which are not Icy and are not depleted, although it is the most profitible in a Pristine Metallic area. Asteroid belt points of interest can only be scanned at very close range (c.5ls). 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. 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. | You can fly to asteroids (either clusters or planetary rings) in supercruise, just like any destination within a system.

Mining Locations change in both quality and quantity which when presented one through five, one being the highest and five being the least are currently; | |||

# Major | |||
# Common | |||
# Low | |||
# Depleted | |||
As stated in GalNet players are currently unable to mine Icy asteroids for resources, leaving the availability to Rocky, Metal Rich, and Metallic asteroids, metallic being the optimal location. | |||
