Will asteroid mining be PvP?

[Hadrac]

Hey, I've never come that far, but since they removed underground mining, I wanted to concentrate on asteroid mining on launch.

But...: Are there safe zones, or is it all PvP?

There is a safezone around the first 3 planets in the Helios system and some asteroids do spawn inside of it. See here for information on the current safezones, and here for basic information on asteroid mining. Feel free to ask if you need clarification on anything, there are plenty of asteroid experts who would be happy to help you get started.

Some are in safe zone, some are in pvp zone. The Higher The Tier the better chance to spawn in PvP Zone.

Also note that it is possible for a safe zone asteroid to spawn near the pvp zone. The process of locating the asteroid involves using an asteroid tracker that takes you to several coordinates before you find the asteroid. Sometimes this process can take you over the border into pvp space, even if the asteroid is not in pvp space. This is not the norm, but worth mentioning.
