In order to begin mining, pilots require three essential 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. | In order to begin mining, pilots require three essential 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.

Then we finally settled on a efficient strategy. One of us would fly in a bare-minimum mining ship with decent speed and low-mass equipped to find and crack rocks while the other would have a larger [[ship]] filled with [[Collector Drone|collector limpets]] and a [[refinery]]. | Then we finally settled on a efficient strategy.

For the miner, I bought an [[Asp Scout]] since it has lower mass and the hardpoints/internals perfect for deep core and surface mining. What's even better is with its two size 1 [[Abrasion Blaster]] hardpoints being so close together it's a guaranteed 2 minerals out of every surface material. I also fitted dual [[Seismic Charge Launcher | For the miner, I bought an [[Asp Scout]] since it has lower mass and the hardpoints/internals perfect for deep core and surface mining.

I also fitted dual [[Seismic Charge Launcher]]s just for the extra ammo (not sure if this works?).
