Hi,
just gave a bit more time to the game.
I bought the laser for mining and the refinery.

First time i went minning, spend 30 minutes to get the 100% of a mineral, and then it would not end in stock as a final finish mineral. I didn't had any cargo available.... i had to buy a 2 cargo slot.
Went again, and this time i was able to do it. I did some material and sell it for +/- 450.
Later i found Silver, but i couldn't find more then 40%, looks like the asteroid run out of silver, and the others around it, here dry....

My refinery can only process one mineral at a time. I guess there are better ones...

Question: i do see a lot of systems that don't show how many stations there are... some of them let you buy a "map". Is there any way to buy the info, but for a larger area?

Other question: i am only into buy/sell/mining so far. i see a lot of mini-missions were they ask to kill one or two pirates for about 15000cr are they difficult? Should i need better shields/weapons? I don't want to be killed and loose the few things i got...
