Thread: Resource Reward Crates can give you Asteroid Resources
What types of asteroid resources are there? Do they fall into the usual general categories (i.e. Ferrous, Non-ferrous, Gemstone, etc.). Thanks.

(at least until the gestapo comes for them too)
What gets me is some of the new mining parts require astroid material. Here's a "which came first.. the chicken or the egg?" To crafts said mining parts that require astroid material, how do you get the astroid material? I don't have a resource crate and don't feel as though I should have to pay 3mil or what ever they're going for now to get those materials... unless I'm missing something simple here...

You're missing something. Nowhere is it mentioned that mining equipment requires asteroid resources.
The Heavy Fighters,their special components, and thecomponents for ONLY POB shipsneed asteroid resources; none of those is required to mine.

As for types, some of it is viewable in live right now, the SW crafting schematics include some of the new chassis and parts. It includes in there references to things like "aluminum asteroid" and "petrochemical asteroid" etc.
