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. For newer players mining can be a good way to learn ship control, operation of the cargo scoop, and how to interact with the control panel in flight. With the fothcoming Powerplay expansion (due late May 2015), pilots of the larger ships will be able to employ drones to automate the mining process.
