I'm having a hard time finding space mining resources anywhere in vendors oron the bazaars. I don't think there is a catagory in the bazaar for space resources. I got the basic mining laser and cargo hold for my dunelizard, took me over 30 minutes to get 80 units of resources so I thought I would buy some and found none anywhere! Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!

Yeah, shipwrights are bleeding money for these resources 
50 CPU, on average. So pretty much every miner is already contracted.
It goes a whole lot quicker with a Mark III laser, tractor beam, and a crafted cargo hold. I can fill a 1500 unit hold in ~30 minutes, in my Krayt.
Wow 50cpu, I hate to buy a new ship and all the equipment that goes with it to just be able to mine that stuff, since I'm an Artisan and the only thing I wanted to make was the Barc speeder repair kit that takes 750 each of Carbonaceous and Petrochemical Asteroid but if it's that expensive to make, who's going buy the finished product?

I'd disagree What's a few thousand resources to fix a reward/prestige item that no one else can get. I'd say that in a couple weeks, after everyone's speeder starts decaying a lot, you're going to do a big trade in repair kits.
Also, you can pack a Mark III mining laser, Tractor beam, and large starfighter hold into a pretty small ship. No need to go out and buy a whole new chassis. Andif you go through 3/4 of the mining quests, you'll get a decent mining laser and a 1000 unit hold for free. Not a bad deal, that
But, how do i acess these resources? i tried talking to the kayyshyk station and the corelian station no option came up. I also tried looking in the "manage" screen at the terminal
Please help
So there is no way that you can check what's in your Cargo Hold while your mining in space? I know that some percentage number pops up after you successfully extract some recources from the 'floating chunk', but that must be the yield from that chunk only or is that the total in the hold? Am I missing something or did SOE forget to program a way to check the cargo hold while in space?
Man what a pain if you have to land everytime you need to check how many units you have mined!!

Cool, thanks gracos I'll try that the next time.
Just got back from mining Carbonaceous, got all of 150 unitsbefore the chunks quit.When I started, the Asteroid's condition was low, like 600/4900. I blew it up and started with a new spawn. The condition was all the way up to 4936/4936 ( when entering : /examine ). Chunks were flying great and I got 120 units. When the condition of the Asteroid went to 4260/4936, no matter how many times I shot my laser, it would not losen any more chunks. What gives with that?
