I think I can help here based on my enormous recent mining experience :) For the quiet zone, I targeted a Low RES but came in low and early slowing down to drop out speed but didn't drop until I was seeing the rocks below me, then dropped out of SC. I was a long way from the RES but with just 3 or 4...
I'm actually mining. https://i.imgur.com/1LVbJHM.jpg "Look at all these little things! So busy now! Notice how each one is useful. A lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and colour." https://i.imgur.com/yvXUV0Z.jpg 251 (units) refined. But god it's boring.
Just on the dark side planet thing, I don't use VR but I got a darker dark side using EDFX and using the "reinforced contrast" setting to make the dark bits darker. Is that something you have looked into? Although there is supposed to be a new lighting model from Frontier coming later this...
I'll think I'll try a bit later this evening, then log out and leave it for a while. Log back in and check the info panel to see if it registers mining under "minerals refined" and tallies with the engineers screen for Selene Jean.

I have to mine 500T to unlock engineer Selene Jean, when you mine does the counter clock the amount your have collected/refined or does it only count when you have sold it? If it's counted when collected then is it possible to mine t...
Annoyed at getting a 24hr bounty in Shinrarta when surface prospecting, triggering some skimmers so foxtrot oscared off to Kamuy to do some skanky passenger runs to Medb, couldn't bring myself to muddy the Mobius PVE open group so did it in solo. I feel dirty now.
Engineerinnnnnnnnnnnng.... or rather surface prospecting for stuff and USS salvage hunting then splurging on engineering crack. I was at Shinrarta Dezhra last night and the first time leaving there was an NPC hauler (I think, might have been an Adder) sitting mid station like it was queuing the leav...
