From Vendetta Online Wiki
/* Asteroid Field Features */ Added mention of "Scattered Asteroid Fields" and added area for describing Asteroids themselves. Will add new images soon.
Mining is probably the easiest way to make money in Vendetta Online. Simply equip your ship with a mining laser, find a good asteroid, and start raking in the credits.
To help get you started, there is a mining tutorial available at mining stations. It will give you the basic equipment, tell you how to equip the equipment, scan, mine and gives you a level 1 mining license. The level 1 license gives you access to a large port (L-port) mining beam, making it possible to mine in a Revenant with a scanner equipped. To find a mining station , look next to the name of the station, . There you should find a description of the type of station. Or check the [[Station_Locations | stations]] chart for a station close to your location.
Mining involves grabbing a ship and a mining beam and extracting valuable ores from asteroids.

===Asteroid Field Features===

Vendetta asteroids fields have certain patterns to them. They are sometimes in long '[[Asteroid Strings|strings]]'. Sometimes there are large '[[Asteroid Clusters|clusters]]' of a certain type of rock or ice. A few asteroids rotate. There will be '[[Asteroid Groups|groups]]' of types of asteroids, with a sort of 'border' between the groups. Occasionally you can also find '[[Scattered Asteroid Groups|Scattered Fields]]', though these are more common in sectors that aren't listed to hold an asteroid field in the first place. On a system wide level, the asteroids are often arranged into belts around stars, with each sector of the belt having asteroids of similar mineral composition.
Pay attention to these features, as they can be helpful when used as landmarks. Once you find a rare asteroid, you can use them to find it again. The features may also act as 'guide posts', with rare ore being concentrated around certain features or types of rock.

Asteroids themselves, as you can see, vary in model. You can actually get a rough guess at the basic elements an asteroid holds based on its shape, as the table below will show.

! Carbonaceous Asteroids
|-
| These asteroids are usually rounded or smooth, though the surface can be bumpy or even pockmarked.

! Ferronic Asteroids
|-
| These asteroids are rather jagged or blocky, like something was shattered.

! Xithricite Asteroids
|-
| These asteroids look like they have glowing green veins, and are typically rare.
|-

! Ice Crystals
|-
| These are Ice Crystals, which can contain Aquean and Silicate ores, as well as trace rare ores. Look for them on outer asteroid rings, or in wormhole sectors.
