There are currently 2 systems with asteroids orbiting a planet, Vulcan and Veritas.

You are able to maneuver your ship with a special laser to heat and melt/explode an asteroid so as to harvest rare minerals from it

You will most probably have to turn off gravity anchor and match speed of an asteroid to be close enough for long enough time.

Left click mouse button on asteroid when close enough to activate laser and maneuver ship to keep beem on the asteroid

Not all the asteroids are valuable, the good ones will be labeled by there type

You will have to experiment with how much laser input is required to achieve best results

Several new minerals are available for research on your space station or sale at the contract boards

  • Silicon - needed for your Electronics Factory
  • Magnesium - can be sold on the market

Other minerals such as Iron, Carbon, Uranium and Aluminium are got from various asteroids aswell
