What, ya want a nubian princess flying wing formation with you? lol Seriously though, mining asteroids is only as hard or easy as ya make it. Once ya get a high enough pilot rating to get the clearance to USE the equipment(which I don't have yet :'(), there are just a few things you need. Natch, you need to install a cargo hold in your ship to load the mined material into. To do the actual mining..a mining laser comes in handy(not sure if standard blasters are suitable or not). Finally, in order to LOAD the fragments into your hold, a tractor beam needs to be installed. Mind you, I've not tried any of this yet myself(from I gather, it isn't easy), but I can guess at what's needed based on my schematics list I have as a shipwright/architect trader. Ya need any of these items built for ya, let me know. Selling the mined goods shouldn't be difficult(heck, I'D buy em off ya), just need to key in on WHICH minerals people WANT to buy.
Beware my dark side......oh! Hi Dark.
