			== When to use laser mining ==

			Laser mining is the simplest method to learn because the extraction tool, collection loop, and refinery loop are all visible and repeatable. It is a good first mining style when the commander wants to understand limpets, refinery bins, cargo planning, and asteroid prospecting before adding core or sub-surface timing mechanics.

			Laser mining is not automatically the most profitable choice. Commodity prices, demand, hotspot quality, and ship fit all matter, so this page avoids permanent sell-station recommendations.

	== Equipment ==		== Equipment ==

			For a basic laser-mining fit, focus on:

			* [[Mining Laser]] — breaks ordinary asteroid fragments loose.
			* [[Prospector Limpet Controller]] — reveals asteroid contents before time is spent mining.
			* [[Collector Limpet Controller]] — retrieves fragments efficiently.
			* [[Refinery]] — converts fragments into cargo.
			* [[Cargo Rack\|Cargo racks]] and limpets — provide both ammunition and space for the refined result.
			* [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] — useful when choosing or confirming a mapped hotspot.

			== Practical notes ==

			* Launch collectors without targeting a single fragment unless a one-use pickup is intended.
			* Keep some distance from the asteroid surface; limpets die quickly when they repeatedly collide with rock.
			* A full cargo hold or blocked refinery can stop useful collection even while fragments are still floating nearby.
			* Hotspots improve targeting, but every asteroid still needs to be prospected.

# Map or travel to a suitable ring or hotspot.
# Launch a [[Prospector Limpet Controller|prospector limpet]] at candidate asteroids before spending time on them.
# Mine useful asteroids with mining lasers while keeping collector limpets active.
