Line 81:

* If you have a really long belt, you may save time by warping between two sets of asteroids >150km from each other when changing rocks, rather than slowboating to the next asteroid.

* Crawling to a new spot in a belt is slow. It's faster to warp to a different belt. Save time later by bookmarking 2 or 3 places in each belt and building up a bookmark list for all the belts in the system.

* Use MLU's - Mining Laser Upgrades ~~instead of cargo expanders especially when group mining.~~

* Use MLU's - Mining Laser Upgrades

* Have your mining drones go to the nearest rock you want to mine. Get as close to it as possible as they have to include travelling time there and back and are a lot slower than other drones.

* Don't mine someone else's rock, not only is it rude if you don't know them but if you are in a group it is terribly inefficient as when the roid is close to popping whoever's lasers finish first will pop the roid and get all the ore. Anyone else mining the same roid will get nothing, wasting up to 3 minutes. Use "Look at" before you lock on. Also this applies to solo mining, mine different roids with each laser.
