Well the asteroids might be live but my understanding from all the reading I've done is that we won't be able to mine these until RoTW goes live on 05/05/05.

Does anyone know what the asteroid resoures for?
Can any crafter use them?
Are they the same as the ground based resources?

The resources are used for crafting some of the new ships(heavy z95, heavy scyk), mining components(tractor beams, cargo holds), new paint jobs, and the new POB ship extra heavy shields, weapons etc.

Or, you could read the FAQ at the top of the Pilot forum. An entire section on how to acquire every ROTW ship.

Q: Where do I find the new RotW ships?
A: They're all quest-granted. The missions for these ships start here:
A: They're all quest-granted. The missions for these ships start here:
- The Heavy X-Wing, Vaksai, and Imperial Guard Interceptor quests all begin with missions out of Kashyyyk space station. They'll soon send you down to Kashyyyk to talk to a man named Eyma, who will give you some more missions. (NOTE: At some point, he'll ask you whether the Ghrag mercenaries are strong or weak. Be sure to answer "strong," as answering "weak" seems to create a quest-gating bug for people.) Eventually, he'll direct you to another space station in Kashyyyk space for the final couple of missions. Rebels will be sent to the Rebel Outpost, Imperials to the Imperial Outpost, and privateers to Kashyyyk station. Once you've completed these last two missions, you'll have your new ship.
- The Y-8 mining ship quest starts with a man named Flash Harrison on the first floor of the Kachirho tree cantina. He'll send you on a variety of space mining and combat missions around the galaxy before you'll eventually earn the Y-8.
- The Eta-2 Actis Interceptor (Jedi Starfighter) quest starts from a pile of bones outside the Nightsister Stronghold on Dathomir. Find the datapad on the corpse (it's on a 30-minute spawn timer; if it's not there, either wait around or come back later) and take it to Admiral Krieg in the bunker in Kachirho to get started. You'll need to be an Imperial ground combatant to complete these missions.
- The ARC-170 begins with the Queen of Naboo in Theed Palace. You'll need to be a Rebel ground combatant to finish this set.
- The Belbullab-22 (Grievous' Starship) takes place entirely within the Myyydril Caverns on Kashyyyk. You'll need to make your way to a robot outside a gate deep within the caves to begin the mission, which consists of killing a very powerful (currently level 92) robot and his two henchmen. This is a very difficult mission.

Greetings space pilots,
Having recently started mylife questas a pilot, I've had many questions come up in my mind. I have been reading the boards and looking at the many, many pages of information, and one thing popped out at my eyes. I have many questions on Space Mining, and the Y-8 Mining vessel, If anyone has any information on this ship released in the "Rage of the Wookies" expansion, ie where to get it, common costs, and mining laser costs, piloting levels exc. please contact me at [email protected].
I know the mining missions are given on Kashyyyk, and being new, like i am, i think i am not skilled enough to make it there. I have done like 4 or 5 missions and am having trouble killing the "ace" pilot with the ship i currently pilot. He has a tendency to Hyperdrive away and then i dont know what to do.
ahh well i digress...

Can you actually make decent money doing space mining. I'm kinda new to the CU. Could someone elaborate for me?

I've been contemplating the same question lately.
The first quest I did when I landed on Kashyyyk was the Mining Quest. I quickly went through it and got my Y-8, on the first day of release. But now, I haven't mined since.
There is a thread in the Shipwright forums asking for what the CPU is for mined resources on each server. I haven't seen anyone post for my server (Chilastra), but most seem to be around the 40-60 CPU range.
Now, depending on how fast you can pull in the resources, that's pretty good. I haven't mined with quality tools though (since release, actually, like I mentioned), so I'm not sure how fast you can pull in, say, 1000 units (which would be 40k-60k credits). To get a million credits you'd need around 17000-25000 units, depending on what you're selling at.
Now my choice is to do that, or harvest resources on the ground to sell. The advantage of that is I can get xp that I can use for the FS skill boxes. Though I prefer space. So, I'm undecided.
If anyone has any experience with selling mined resources, I'd love to hear what they have to say too
