Also, one YT vid on mining I watched said that if you drop in and there's already a cloud of dust, then you may as well leave. I've found that to be the opposite. Was exploring my ring for about an hour and found four core'd asteroids (I suppose they generate randomly, never actually seen an NPC do it yet), but found 3 void opal cores. Got 47 tons :D
Made 100m today in about two hours and a good part of that was spent learning the right shape/color/etc. to pick out. I like to get a good view above the belt (not so far my scanner doesn't work, though), head off in a direction parallel to the ring, turn FA off, then nose down and scan away.
