Is this a typical result? It seams low but as a starter every credit is welcome
I was doing that (well in a hauler) ages ago; it got better when I started;
Only going for the big 3/4 Platinum, Palladium, Gold & Silver
Getting a 4/5 slot refinery (if going for big 3 get a 4, big 4 get a 5 - so you can vent the "extra" metal they come with)
Mine one rock, target the chunk. If the %'s are not X of one of the big 3/4 above move on.
I used 10%+ for platinum, 15%+ for Palladium & Gold 30%+ for silver.
Some people have used 25%+ for Platinum & 30% for all else.
Use something (like the planet) as an orientation point.
