Miner Routine
So when you go out as a miner, you are always aware of fact that someone can attack you. Still, you need to go out and mine resources. Its not impossible, you just need to take care. For example, when you go out in space, as beginner, you do not need to go far. Find closest asteroid fields and start mining. Keep an eye to new ships that enter that star. You will see them, and also you will see what ship type they are using. If you are careful, you will still have time to jump out of Star and return to safety.
