Seems latley I will have problems with space mining in some systems. I am using a midlevel mining laser, and firing away at some asteroids, but nothing happens. I keep firing for many minutes, but ziltch. Anyone else have this problem?
thanks,

When a asteroid is out of material you have to beat it into submission with lazers, it will eventualy destruct and respawn a few seconds later. this can take a long time with a mark II and even a Mark III. Persistance pays yeielding a new astroid laden with resourses.

make sure ya do a /ex on the asteroid see its taking damage...each asteroid only will give out so many littler chunks...after that just have to kill it and get a new one =)
