one mining question

[Lusitano]

I think that the idea is that you will get a whole massive ice asteroid to haul away...its 750 units or some such...presumably worth big bucks somewhere...but I'm not sure if they are actually "turned on" yet, the existing ice fields I mean...I was reading about it somewhere...perhaps on the forum mining guide...I gained the impression that its coming soon, type of thing...as in, they have it coded into the game and all but its not turned on just yet....

EDIT
Now the thought occurs to me...I wonder, being ice and all, if they'll be as easy to harvest as regular water? You know how when you're shooting NPCs in ice field areas...and hitting ice crystals too, you often end up with a lot of water in your hold...and just from your regular guns...You could fit maybe 5 or 6 asteroids into a heavy tanker, say...in theory.....but I'm guessing as a specialised ore type you'll probably need mining turrets….

i also thought that could be a way to get more water ...but ... i don't know so i asked thanks
