- Shoot straight at the crystal alongside your top dog weapon when inward range. (Best non to purpose ammo based weapons hence y'all gain the close profits of this venture. Weapons like; Torpedos together with Missiles.)
- Shoot the crystal node a few times until pieces suspension off together with hence convey them into your inventory past times asset the ”O” key.
- Pick upwards the crystals past times asset downwards the cardinal that activates the device used to describe costless floating items into your ships hold.
- Note 1: You may choice upwards unstable crystals which are considered illegal past times roughly factions.
- Note 2: If y'all destroy the asteroid the crystal node is sitting on no crystals volition drop.

Blue (Menelaene)
Common, a lot to a greater extent than valuable than royal crystals (8,500cr – 11,500cr).
Green-Yellow (Aguilite)
Uncommon, a petty to a greater extent than valuable than blueish crystals (17,000cr – 23,000cr).

Note: There is an achievement tied to this way of making coin (Called: “Miner’s Luck”). By mining Burnite crystals y'all consummate the achievement for mining the close valuable crystals inward the game.
You tin mine these crystals inward other systems alongside asteroid fields, but in ane lawsuit y'all got a experience for mining crystals inward the Argon prime number arrangement where it is safe? You tin motion on to other systems all the manner to the close unsafe systems similar Faulty Logic together with Aliya’s Misfortune.
