Asteroid

Asteroids are stationary objects within Star Systems which can contain various Ores. They only appear in asteroid belts.

Ore is mined from asteroids using Mining Lasers and harvested with Logistics Drones.

The amount of ore is finite, indicated by a number in the Tactical View.

Once depleted, an asteroid can be shattered by shooting it with Cannons. This procedure may replenish the previously present ores. Tilium Ore can also be partially replenished by initiating an asteroid mining Contract.

Like asteroids, Ice Comets can be mined for Ice.
