Moved subsections around so that the order makes more sense; renamed "prospecting" to "ore locations". Feel free to revert and/or discuss.
Asteroids and belts: added simple list of ores per space type; border ores should go into the next section on cosmic anomalies

As their name suggests, asteroids are primarily found in asteroid belts, and most systems in [[New Eden]] have at least one. Asteroid belts can be viewed in the [[overview]] when enabled, and can also be viewed via the contextual menu by right-clicking in space. Each asteroid belt is composed of a variety of asteroids, each containing a particular type of ore noted in asteroid's name. The types and quantities of ore are determined by the [[system security]] rating of the system and which [[Topology|quadrant]] it is located in. Rarer and more valuable ores are found in lower-security systems, and ore deposits tend to be larger there as well. Once depleted, asteroid belts do not respawn until [[server downtime]], so belts may sometimes be found empty, or lacking a certain type of ore.

* High-sec belts contain ''simple ores'' (Veldspar, Scordite, Pyroxeres and Plagioclase).
* Low-sec belts contain ''coherent ores'' (Omber, Kernite, Jaspet, Hemorphite and Hedbergite) and additionaly Pyroxeres.
* Null-sec belts contain ''complex ores'' (Bistot, Arkonor and Spodumain), special ore [[Mining#Mercoxit_mining|Mercoxit]] and additionally Kernite, Pyroxeres and Veldspar.
* Triglavain space belts contain ''abyssal ores'' (Bezdnacine, Rakovene and Talassonite).
* Wormhole belts contain Arkonor, Bistot, Gneiss, Kernite, Omber, and Pyroxeres.
