Or get them from planet surfaces - that's almost certainly faster than for any but the "very common" raw materials, and planets show what materials they have on a scan whereas ring systems don't, so they're easier to track down.

still nothing? am looking forward to the 1 iron cost of everything this evening to check out all the new features!! 
I’m really glad I have a grandfathered F5 key.
F4? Has to be engineered first to work.

I agree with that.
Well if its a late release, FD must be tweaking the nuts off of the base code.
True. Data - not necessarily the right data, but something tradable - you can get just by flying about scanning the ships in supercruise on the way to your destination. Manufactured materials you can get - for trade, at least - from almost every activity, though some are better than others. Raw materials could maybe use an extra source or two beyond mining or SRVing ... perhaps putting a few back on to the mission rewards list?
I am really looking forward to the new mining mechanics, I get to blast the asteroids to pieces as well as the miners ! Hopefully with added persistence so I can work on clearing out a space for my secret base in the Xihe system.
Yep, hence my post earlier
I am actually starting to hope. I was worried that my pet worry about the secondaries and grandfathering would require too much time for Frontier to sort out. But, the longer this wait goes on, the more I'm starting to hope...
Which isn't secret anymore now...
Ahh rats ! Actually I really hide out in Diaguandri. Can't have those Thargoids touch this place !
The awesome looking images of the planet surfaces being readied for Q4 have also got me interested in the new rock formations, hopefully allowing new types of prospecting (read dropping mines including the exploding types !). Any chance of a prospecting fighter fdev ? Maybe with surface scanners that can tag stuff ?
