Everything we loot in space automatically gets dropped to our inventory. But these asteroid particles go into a cargohold instead? They're also saying we can go to a space station and sell the ore immediately. But so how does this factor into selling things on the bazaar?How do we transfer the ore from the cargo hold to inventory? I'm a tad confused by the whole thing.
As for the tractor beam, will it also feed off the weapon capacitor? Does this also get aimed manually or is it auto-tracking? And can you 'reel' in more than one rock at a time? I was thinking it'd be cool if you set up a multiplayer ship with turrets all armed with mining lasers, but it becomes pointless if there's still only one tractor beam and you really can't use multiple cannons to speed up the mining process.

Most of the people who would be able to answer most of those questions are under the RotW NDA. Many people will be learning together come RotW release, so you might just sit tight until then.

To get cargo out of your hold, go to the datapad and get a radial menu of ur ship. There will be an option to unload cargo. The tractor beam will feed off your capacitor, but it is a very small amount. It is manual aiming and with an MP ship you can bring in more than one at a a time.
