I crafted a Mark III Minin Laser w/Max Damage Subcomponent and when I went to use it, no results in mining.
I go to examine the two I received in the quest and both have "extration rates", but this one does not.

Yup. The Quest laser shows Extraction Rate, but when I went and crafted a couplea couple new Mark II's, the extraction Rate was no where to be seen on either of theones I made. I used the Increased Fire Rate II add-on, on both of them dureing creation, though I doubt it matters as the other person had it too withthe Mrrk IIIdifferent add on component .

I'll pass that on, anyone else see this, too?
I should note though, they seemed to work fine when I tried them, I put the pair of them on my ship, along with a Medium Cargo Hold (897 storage capacity), and was easily filling it twice as fast or more than I was with the Mark I Quest laser and Small Cargo Hold. The First times with the Quest laser, I had to shoot the main asteroid 5-8 times before the big chunck would seperate, and then would have to shoot that one at least 1-2 dozen times before it would break up into the small pieces, which took 1-3 hits themselves to "load" into the ship.
With the pair of Mark II's, I only have to shoot the big once and the big chunk pops off each time, and then shoot the chunklike 8 times, and it breaks up, with each little piece usually only needing 1 shot to load in the ship 
I tried 3 full runs so far like that, and it seems to have help with the mining quite a bit better, and with a 3 gun ship, I have a level8 Borsteel quest reward cannon that has so far handled the raiders quite well. And the 2 Mark II's came out at around 630-950 damage, .48 .vs S+A, 37 Refire,each.Might be a little harder in tier 4+ zones, but unless largely outnumbered, should be managable. Gonna make a Tractor beam later and try it out just for the heck of it, but just the Tiwn lasers seem to do rather well.

I had similar results to Manuvian on my crafted mining lasers: no extraction rate listed, but I could mine with them anyway. But it would be nice to have the extraction rates on them regardless.

Weird
....okay I'll try it again today and see if my results are different.

It's listed as a bug in the mining guide and has been flagged to DP. He's looking into it.
It does mine - and it is mining faster than a Mk2 (at least it was in Beta - I still can't access RotW on TC)

Why can't we experiment on this stat?

It's just a guess, but I think the "extraction rate" is determined by the min and max damage of the weapon. As such, you should be able to experiment them already using damage mods.

FYI the extraction rate is merely the weapon damage divided by 100.

Just to let you know that my crafted Mark III Mining Laser is now functioning like it is suppose to. It was weird, I had to actually drop the item out of my possesion and then pick it up again to function. After that I have unloaded and reloaded it on several occasions and all is okay.
Thanks for all the input.

I think it might be related to the max damage. I tried to make a Mark III with max damage and it would not allow me to add it to the schematic. It would show up in the crafting ingredints but I could not move it into the optional component box. I made it without it and it works. Also, there have been reports of problems with mining lasers working in some turrets. The top turret seems to be the most affected. For what it is worth, I compared it to one made with speed component and the stats were virtually identical.
