Mine...where...exactly?

[davnolan]

So I'm a little new to the mining game, and after reading through all of this AND the guide, I'm still left with a few questions.

I'm flying a Mining ship, with a Daumann IFF and the Daumann Heavy Construction ID. I DO have the mining emitters. I've been in Omega-7 trying to find something to mine.

First question...do the new mining areas show up on the NavMap when I use the Mineable Zones feature? This question was asked earlier in this thread, but I don't think it was answered.

If not then I guess I gotta fly around farther off from stuff until I see rocks...

I was mining copper in one of the fields that DO show up in the Mineable Zones Map...and was getting very little. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help!
